The New York Times bestselling author of The Geography of Bliss embarks on a rollicking intellectual journey, following in the footsteps of historys greatest thinkers and showing us how eachfrom Epicurus to Gandhi, Thoreau to Beauvoiroffers practical and spiritual lessons for todays unsettled times.We turn to philosophy for the same reasons we travel: to see the world from a different perspective, to unearth hidden beauty, and to find new ways of being. We want to learn how to embrace wonder. Face regrets. Sustain hope.Eric Weiner combines his twin passions for philosophy and travel in a globetrotting pilgrimage that uncovers surprising life lessons from great thinkers around the world, from Rousseau to Nietzsche, Confucius to Simone Weil. Traveling by train (the most thoughtful mode of transport), he journeys thousands of miles, making stops in Athens, Delhi, Wyoming, Coney Island, Frankfurt, and points in between to reconnect with philosophys original purpose: teaching us how to lead wiser, more meaningful lives. From Socrates and ancient Athens to Beauvoir and 20thcentury Paris, Weiners chosen philosophers and places provide important practical and spiritual lessons as we navigate todays chaotic times.In a delightful odyssey that will take you places intellectually and humorously (San Francisco Book Review), Weiner invites us to voyage alongside him on his lifechanging pursuit of wisdom and discovery as he attempts to find answers to our most vital questions. The Socrates Express is full of valuable lessonsa fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and bubblegum philosophy approach and gradually pulls them in deeper and deeper (NPR).
