Philosophy for Life: and Other Dangerous Situations, 2012, 304 Pages, Jules Evans, 1846043220, 9781846043222, Ebury Publishing, 2012 Philosophy for Life: And other dangerous situations, 2012, 304 pages, Jules Evans, 1846043220, 9781846043222, Ebury Publishing, 2012 DOWNLOAD http://bit.ly/1Tj8K1S http://goo.gl/Rw6Oq http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=Philosophy+for+Life%3A+And+other+dangerous+situations In his engaging book, Jules Evans explains how ancient philosophy saved his life, and how we can all use it to become happier, wiser and more resilient. Jules imagines a dream school, which includes 12 of the greatest and most colourful thinkers the world has ever known. Each of these ancient philosophers teaches a technique we can use to transform ourselves and live better lives. These practical techniques are illustrated by the extraordinary stories of real people who are using them today - from marines to magicians, from astronauts to anarchists and from CBT psychologists to soldiers. Jules also explores how ancient philosophy is inspiring modern communities - Socratic cafes, Stoic armies, Platonic sects, Sceptic summer camps - and even whole nations in their quest for the good life.
