BOOK III. TRUE HAPPINESS AND FALSE.
by Boethius • Book 3
This chapter helps you recognize that true fulfillment cannot be found in external pursuits like wealth, power, or status, which only multiply desires and anxieties. By redirecting your sight toward the unified source of genuine goodness, it guides you out of existential confusion and into lasting inner peace.
“The desire of the true good is naturally implanted in the minds of men; only error leads them aside out of the way in pursuit of the false.”
