A 'good life'. This is what most of us aspire to, but what does it actually mean and how can we achieve it? These questions have been pondered by philosophers for centuries.

Young Australian philosopher Christina Colegate reflects on many aspects of modern life love, our bodies, friendship, family, home, democracy and compassion. With insights from groundbreaking thinkers and plenty of humour along the way, "Just Between You and Me" takes readers on a journey through Western thought. Drawing on personal experiences, Christina Colegate builds a bridge between philosophical ideas and everyday experiences. All the time, she seeks to answer the question of how we might live deeper, wiser and more enriched lives.
