Description
Travels with Epicurus: Meditations from a Greek Island on the Pleasures of Old Age by Daniel Klein. As we search for eternal youth, do we overlook the value of old age? In this thought-provoking travel memoir, author Daniel Klein embarks on a journey to the Greek island of Hydra, where he explores the secrets of ageing happily. Drawing on the lives of octogenarian locals and philosophers such as Epicurus and Sartre, Klein offers a unique perspective on the pleasures of old age. Through his witty and perceptive observations, Klein reveals an authentic and optimistic guide to living well. Part travel memoir, part meditation, this book invites readers to reconsider their relationship with ageing and discover the joys of embracing life's later stages.
