Daniel Klein is a great friend of ours. Here is a guy who has a warm, humorous, and thoughtful way to shows how philosophy resonates in everyday life. Readers of his popular books Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar... and Travels with Epicurus come for enlightenment and stay for the entertainment.
As a young college student studying philosophy, Klein filled a notebook with short quotes from the world’s greatest thinkers, hoping to find some guidance on how to live the best life he could. Now, from the vantage point of his eighth decade, Klein revisits the wisdom he relished in his youth with this collection of philosophical gems, adding new ones that strike a chord with him at the end of his life.
His new book is Every Time I Find the Meaning of Life, They Change It: Wisdom of the Great Philosophers on How to Live.
