A thousand years ago, a philosopher in Baghdad wrote the most sophisticated guide to becoming a good person that the medieval world had ever seen. His name was Miskawayh. Almost nobody knows him today. This book changes that.

The Art of Becoming Good introduces the extraordinary life and thought of Ahmad ibn Muhammad Miskawayh (c. 932-1030 CE) - court librarian, historian, alchemist, and the Islamic world's greatest moral philosopher - whose masterwork, the Tahdhib al-Akhlaq (Refinement of Character), mapped the human soul with a precision and warmth that still commands admiration a millennium later.
