“An insightful meditation.” - The New York Times Book
Review
“Along the way, Klein touches on the ideas of Bertrand Russell,
Erik Erikson, Aristotle, and William James. Klein's narrative is a
delightful and spirited conversation, offering up the ingredients
inherent to the art of living well in old age.” – Publisher’s
Weekly
“Charming and accessible, this philosophical survey simply and
accessibly makes academic philosophy relevant to ordinary human
emotion.” – Kirkus Review
“Witty and wry” – Huffington Post
“A lovely little book with both heart and punch.” – Booklist
“A charming meditation on aging. Daniel Klein takes us on a
thought-provoking journey.” – The Weekly Standard Book Review
“Reading this book after a period of overwork and high stress, I
was bowled over by its easy charm and hard-won wisdom. I shall be
buying it in bulk as presents for my equally overburdened peers,
and I suspect a few older people will enjoy it, too.” – Markus
Berkmann, The Daily Mail
“If you think philosophy is hard stuff that makes your head
spin and possibly hurt, Klein is the perfect guide to deep
thinking. Being fully aware and wondering how best to spend
our time are useful practices at any age, and this warm,
thought-provoking book is a terrific introduction to thinking about
life philosophically.” – Concord Monitor — Multiple
