What if you could have coffee with Marcus Aurelius about your career anxieties? Ask Cicero how to be a better friend. Let Benjamin Graham, who invented the principles behind modern value investing, talk you through your finances on a Friday morning?
Gabriel is thirty-something, professionally successful, and quietly disappearing. His mortgage clears automatically. His career points steadily upward. And yet, after his team celebrates their biggest win of the year, he feels...absolutely nothing.
What begins as a week of sick leave and morning jogs through Clissold Park in North London becomes something far stranger.
Over five extraordinary days, Gabriel (and, in part, his partner Suzan) encounters sixteen of history's greatest minds, each appearing beside a pond, beneath an oak, or along a familiar path, each offering their wisdom on the questions that have never gone away. Dialogues include:
- Simone de Beauvoir and John Stuart Mill on love, freedom, and what a real partnership looks like
- Montaigne and Cicero on the lost art of male friendship
- Marcus Aurelius and Benjamin Franklin on what success is actually for
- Richard Feynman and Douglas Adams on curiosity, the joy of not knowing, and why the universe has no obligation to make sense
- Siddhartha Gautama and Arthur Schopenhauer on suffering, impermanence, and finding unexpected humour in the human condition
- Epicurus and Carl Gustav Jung on suffering, pleasure, and the shadow self
- Benjamin Graham and John C. Bogle on building financial independence
- Leonardo da Vinci and Ada Lovelace on creativity and the courage to innovate
- Henry David Thoreau and Immanuel Kant on introversion, authenticity, and why the quietest person in the room is often the most formidable
- Bertrand Russell and Hermann Hesse on growing older, staying restless, and what age finally gives you permission to stop pretending
The London Dialogues is part philosophical novel, part mentoring programme, part love story. It is a book for anyone who has achieved what they were supposed to achieve — and still wonders if they are asking the right questions.
The conversations do not have to stay in the park.
They can start everywhere...
All the time...
