Sharon Lebell

PHILOSOPHER | WRITER | MUSICIAN

Sharon Lebell is a modern philosopher, author, speaker, and musician widely known for her international bestseller The Art of Living: The Classical Manual on Virtue, Happiness, and Effectiveness. She is a strong proponent of expressing philosophy in accessible language so that anyone can apply it to better his or her life. Her greatest joy is inspiring others to find meaning, to make meaning, to use one’s life for good, and to grow a vibrant contemplative life in a fragmented world.
