"This book was especially enjoyable and relevant to me because I am 71 and have been musing over many of the issues that Klein addresses. I was gratified that he was willing to share his insights and uncertainties about how to not only best live these last years (the old years before the old old years set in) but also the controversial issue of the afterlife. The very thoughtful (yet sometimes irreverent) and mellow tone of his ramblings on living and dying, not surprising for a philosophical guy, and his frequent references to how the heavyweights weighed in on these pithy issues, was enlightening and thought provoking. As we approach our twilight years, it is inevitable that we mull over many of the questions that Klein poses. I found the book to be a great read and recommend it unequivocally..." - Amazon Customer Reviews

  • Mô tả

After being advised by his dentist to get tooth implants, Daniel Klein decides to stick with his dentures and instead use the money to make a trip to the Greek island Hydra and discover the secrets of aging happily. Drawing on the inspiring lives of his Greek friends and philosophers ranging from Epicurus to Sartre, Klein uncovers the simple pleasures that are available late in life, as well as the refined pleasures that only a mature mind can fully appreciate.

A travel book, a witty and accessible meditation, and an optimistic guide to living well, Travels with Epicurus is a delightful jaunt to the Aegean and through the terrain of old age that only a free spirit like Klein could lead.
