"[William] James would have liked this book. [John] Kaag ties James’s ideas directly to the challenges and puzzles of his own life — and his readers’ lives. . . . James’s ideas have rippled through the past century more powerfully than those of any other American thinker. Kaag’s little book reminds us why."---James T. Kloppenberg, Washington Post
"This short book is an excellent introduction to William James and his philosophy."---John Banville, Literary Review
