What does Nichomachean mean again?

Aristotle wrote two books on ethics (how one should live). One is titled the Nicomachean Ethics, the other is titled Eudemian Ethics. Nicomachus is the name of both Aristotle's father and his son- so it's unclear who the title refers too.

I'm adapting that book and changing it from Aristotle's dry, precise and exhaustive style to something punchy.

Big influence on Hilchot De'ot by Rambam!

The Egos vain pursuit of pleasure for me is highly addictive and hard to break. Yet is possible to have the willingnesd to change. To want some higher Purpose something that last. Whats easy does not last, (pleasure) what last isnt easy but work working for yet its this hard work that makes us truly happy pleasure is not true happiness. Its really an Dopamine addiction in the brain..i want philosophy because its medicine for my Soul Sicknese.
