"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 delightful book that is easily applicable to any stage of life. Even when explaining the underlying theories behind a quote, the author's writing is understandable for readers who have no prior philosophy background. Yet, philosophy students will also enjoy seeing the discipline applied to everyday life." - Laura Hiatt-Smith, Library Journal
"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

A philosophical trip through life filled with warmth, humour and wise words – and including a new postscript written exclusively for this edition
What is the art of living well? Do you ever feel like Reinhold Niebuhr when he wrote the words “Every time I find the meaning of life, they change it”? Well you’ve come to the right place, because Daniel Klein once did too.
Fifty years ago, Klein began filling a notebook with short quotations from the world’s greatest thinkers – from Epicurus and Emerson to Camus and Beckett. Now he revisits the wisdom he so relished in his youth, bringing with him the wealth of rich experiences that eight decades of life have bestowed upon him. With his inimitable charm and insight, Klein gives us a delightful meditation on existence and all its possible meanings, making philosophy resonate with our everyday lives as only he can.
