This book invites the reader to rediscover temperance as a liberating virtue, capable of reconciling us with ourselves. Through a lucid and accessible reflection, the author demonstrates that balance in food, drink, and sexual life is the key to authentic freedom and lasting happiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book challenges the popular maxim that \"everything good is either sinful or fattening,\" arguing that it is whim and excess that truly ruin, disappoint, and make us fat. Brague Tuñón maintains that the path to maximum pleasure compatible with freedom and happiness is balance, and that the name for this balance in the fundamental areas of life (eating, drinking, and sexuality) is temperance. Far from being a renunciation, moderation is presented as an intelligent strategy for a full life. The work stands as a revolutionary text by defending the opposite of mainstream thought, offering a practical and philosophical guide to cultivating inner balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTemperance as a key virtue for happiness and freedom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBalance in eating, drinking, and sexual life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eA critique of unbridled hedonism and the culture of excess.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe relationship between moderation and authentic, lasting pleasure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eChristian practical life as a framework for the development of virtue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in ethics and moral philosophy, as well as those seeking a Christian perspective on practical life.
