In Aristotle's words, the good life is the "activity of soul in conformity with excellence." He meant conducting all aspects of our life in a superior way.
Aristotle's "golden mean": to know our middle point, we must know ourselves well, act in moderation and reason, and live a virtuous life.
Aristotle counts the man braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is the victory over self.
