Filled with timeless insight into life, relationships, work and partying, this book takes a sideways glance at modern living and presents the would-be thoughts of Ancient Philosophers on various topics central to our 21st century existence.
"Highly engaging and Vernon has a good eye for the colourfully weird detail."
