Reviews

An absolute joy ... This fascinating book is as close as you'll get to hiring history's wisest minds as your personal life advisers
*Oliver Burkeman, author of The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking*

An inspired navigation tool for the maze of existence
*Robin Ince, author of I'm a Joke and So Are You: Reflections on Humour and Humanity*

As we all know, life doesn't come with an instruction manual. But Baggini's and Macaro's book, building on the wisdom of thousands of years of philosophy, comes pretty close to it.
*Massimo Pigliucci, author of The Stoic Guide to a Happy Life*
