Reviews
"Eric Weiner's The Socrates Express rekindled my love for philosophy. A smart, funny, engaging book full of valuable lessons, The Socrates Express is not an explanation--it's an invitation to think and experience philosophy filtered through Weiner's words... The structure of this book is brilliant. . . . An engaging read . . . With plenty of humor and straightforward prose [Weiner] engages with deep thought and encourages us to focus on questions instead of answers. . . . A fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and bubble-gum philosophy approach and gradually pulls them in deeper and deeper until they're contemplating desire, loneliness, aging, and death." --NPR, "Weiner makes a convincing and winningly presented case for the practical applications of philosophy to everyday existence in the 21st century. With humor and thoughtfulness, he distills the wisdom of thinkers from throughout history . . . into ways to slow down, ask questions, and pay attention. . . . His book offers an appealing way to cope with the din of modern life and look at the world with attentive eyes and ears. " --Publishers Weekly, "Such a globe-trotting tour of philosophy can only be as good as its guide, and Weiner proves to be a curious, sincere, and generous companion. His good cheer alone serves as a model for how to live, and many readers will appreciate his method of taking what's useful for him and leaving what's not. . . . 'The world needs more philosophical enthusiasts,' Weiner writes. This book is sure to generate its share." -- Kirkus Reviews, "Equal parts vivifying travelogue and Philosophy 101 crash course . . . Weiner's gift is his lively ability to unearth fresh insights about their ideas that relate to the chaos of the present day." -- Boca Mag, "Delightful . . . There are so many reasons to love this book . . . . If you are planning summer travel or a staycation, this book will take you places intellectually and humorously." --San Francisco Book Review, "Weiner offers bubble gum philosophy that provides a quick, sweet taste. . . . Those looking for lite insights will be drawn in gradually from the shallow (getting out of bed and walking) to the deep end (aging and death)." -- Library Journal, "[Weiner's] writing is fresh and even revelatory as he pulls together seemingly disparate notions and asks meaningful (and often unanswered) questions. His tone alternates between informative and insightful to cheeky and challenging. . . . Readers will enjoy Weiner's unique approach and ultimately satisfying conclusions." -- Booklist (starred review), "A pleasant surprise. Part high-level survey of the central ideas of a diverse group of philosophers, part memoir, part 'how to' book and part travelogue, [ The Socrates Express ] is an invigorating introduction to some of philosophy's eminently practical uses. . . . A serious man of ideas . . . refreshingly free of prescriptiveness." -- The Book Reporter
