In Philosophy for Life, Jules demonstrates the timeless relevance of this ancient wisdom and philosophy to help solve modern problems. This book is an invitation to a dream school with a faculty that includes 12 of the greatest philosophers from the ancient world – from Plato and Aristotle, to Seneca, and Socrates, sharing practical techniques we can use to better our lives.
