The Philosophy Prescription: Lessons from Big Thinkers for Every Stage of Life
by Jack Maden
€ 22.50
ISBN: 9781911742012
A warm, accessible guide to philosophy for anyone looking for wisdom, comfort and a better way to live.
'Every page offers something to think about, something to try, or something to take into the rest of your day. An utter gem' Jonny Thomson, author of Mini Philosophy
It's not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it. That was Seneca's assessment two millennia ago, and arguably it's not much different now.
So what can the world's greatest thinkers teach us about happiness, love, friendship, purpose, family, ageing and death?
From the founder of Philosophy Break, The Philosophy Prescription explores timeless ideas for modern anxieties:
What Confucius can teach us about our parents
How Simone de Beauvoir defines true love
Why friendships are like porcupines
How Albert Camus can help with a midlife crisis
What a Japanese sage can teach us about facing death with grace
Warmly written and full of practical wisdom, this is philosophy for everyday life: a thoughtful invitation to join in the shared search for answers to life's big questions.
'Deep, wise and wide in range, both accessible and strikingly relevant' A. C. Grayling, author of The History of Philosophy
