When I read Aristotles Ethics two years ago, I spent a lot of time "christianizing" the concepts in it. All of the ideas that came from that thought process were in this book and more. It was incredible to read the author's much deeper and expanded analysis on the fulfillment that comes with pursuing holiness through an unequivocal passion for truth and practice of christian virtue.

That being said, the title was misleading as there wasnt really a focus on practical habits to develop and there was anything super new or groundbreaking.
