I’ll keep this one short and sweet. I’ve been curious about Schopenhauer’s philosophy and wanted a short and sweet intro. This did the trick. I’ll definitely read some more in-depth stuff at some point.

Will over reason...interesting things to think about. Charlton Heston was great but the guy doing Schopenhauer's voice was hard to take seriously.

Very short (shorter, in fact, than a Very Short Introduction). Read by Charleton Heston, who has a great voice if nothing else. Quotes by Schopenhauer are read in a over-the-top German accent that manages a cute sort of quirkiness rather than a stupid sort of annoyance. Not bad at all as a quick intro to Schopenhauer. Probably rates more than three stars, but not enough to round up to four.
