htb2050 's review for:
Philosophy for Life: And Other Dangerous Situations
by Jules Evans
This book doesn't go into detail into any single philosophy. Its just a collection of various Greek philosophies but in the end you are more confused then ever.
The author tells in the first few pages that his life was saved due to this but what he essentially got was a few CBT techniques to deal with his anxiety. I wouldn't call that a philosophy of life.
Moreover, in the end he reveals that he had a near death experience which caused him to reconsider his life choices and gave him a clear perspective on life. And that might have been the thing that he had always been looking for.
Where do the common folk like us go looking for near death experiences to get a new perspective on life so that we could write books and tell other people about them?
