In The Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims, two essays from his last work, Parerga und Paralipomena , he discusses how to order our lives to obtain the greatest amount of pleasure and success; then he offers guidelines for living life to its fullest. But for Schopenhauer a life well lived should always reach beyond itself to a higher plane.
