A humorous and philosophical trip through life, from the New York Times–bestselling coauthor of Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar . . .

Daniel Klein’s fans have fallen in love with the warm, humorous, and thoughtful way he 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. From Epicurus to Emerson and Camus to the theologian Reinhold Niebuhr—whose words provided the title of this book—each pithy extract is annotated with Klein’s inimitable charm and insights. In these pages, our favorite jokester–philosopher tackles life’s biggest questions, leaving us chuckling and enlightened.

可以picture出来这个老头的模样

起初被书名吸引 读着读着有读自己日记的错觉 许多会心一笑 Mental masturbation keeps us alive and it actually take talent to live really in the present.

挺可爱的一本小书，讲了一些浅显的哲学。书名是最逗的了。很喜欢作者的一点是非常老实，分析维根斯坦的时候就老老实实地说，这句话不知道怎么就转折了，上半句看得懂，下半句真的也不太懂。通勤路上读的，居然读了很久，本身值四星，但是读完以后居然感觉离我们子华更近了，加一星！

Rather than just another self-help book, it actually has some illuminating passages, not least the thought experiments.

Stimulating and interesting
