In his engaging book, Jules Evans explains how ancient philosophy saved his life, and how we can all use it to become happier, wiser and more resilient.
An important book, because it reminds us philosophy is not just about analysis. It's also about the good life.
Instructive and thought-provoking...shows philosophy is not just for stuffy classrooms
This wonderful book shows how modern psychology is consistent with the best that was thought and known in the Ancient World...also beautifully written
A revelation
Hugely enjoyed
