Eric Weiner combines his twin passions for philosophy and travel in a globe-trotting 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 philosophy’s original purpose: teaching us how to lead wiser, more meaningful lives.

An approachable take on philosophy
Revisado: 08-31-20
I do not have a background in philosophy. I have heard a philosopher speak exactly once for about 30 minutes in my entire life. This book was a great introduction not only to the thinking of several great philosophers, but into how those philosophies might be practically applied to my day-to-day life, or at least my thinking. Weiner takes a lofty subject and makes it both relatable and practical. The reading is pleasant to listen to.
