Con La riqueza de las naciones, su obra más famosa, Adam Smith ha sido considerado el santo patrón del capitalismo. Sin embargo, muy pocos saben cuánto tenía que decir el filósofo escocés sobre el comportamiento humano: sobre cómo nos percibimos a nosotros mismos, cómo nos relacionamos y qué decisiones tomamos en nuestra búsqueda de la felicidad. Smith desarrolló sus ideas sobre la naturaleza humana en una obra genial, La teoría de los sentimientos morales. La mayoría de los economistas nunca la han leído, y durante mucho tiempo el economista Russell Roberts no fue una excepción. Pero cuando finalmente se adentró en este libro del fundador de su disciplina, se dio cuenta de que probablemente se encontraba ante la mejor obra para conocerse a sí mismo que hubiera leído jamás. En Cómo Adam Smith puede cambiar tu vida, Roberts examina esta obra maestra relegada a menudo a un segundo plano y desvela el valioso tesoro de una sabiduría práctica e intemporal. La descripción que hace Smith de la naturaleza humana es tan relevante hoy como hace doscientos años. ¿Qué puede hacernos verdaderamente felices? ¿Conseguir la fama y la fortuna o el respeto de nuestros amigos y nuestra familia? ¿Se puede hacer del mundo un lugar mejor? Las inesperadas respuestas de Smith, cuando las enmarcamos en el rico contexto actual, la literatura, la historia y la cultura pop, resultan ser profundas y paradójicas, a la vez que enormemente entretenidas.
