EVERY TIME I FIND THE MEANING OF LIFE THEY CHAN...

A humorous and philosophical trip through life  from the New York Times-bestselling coauthor of
Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar . . .   Daniel Klein's fans have fallen in love with the
warm  humorous  and thoughtful way he shows how philosophy resonates in everyday life. Readers
of his popular books Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar . . . and Travels with Epicurus come
for enlightenment and stay for the entertainment.  As a young college student studying
philosophy  Klein filled a notebook with short quotes from the world's greatest thinkers 
hoping to find some guidance on how to live the best life he could. Now  from the vantage point
of his eighth decade  Klein revisits the wisdom he relished in his youth with this collection
of philosophical gems  adding new ones that strike a chord with him at the end of his life.
From Epicurus to Emerson and Camus to the theologian Reinhold Niebuhr—whose words provided the
title of this book—each pithy extract is annotated with Klein's inimitable charm and insights.
In these pages  our favorite jokester-philosopher tackles life's biggest questions  leaving us
chuckling and enlightened.
