Praise for  Every Time I Find the Meaning of Life, They Change It "A refreshingly spontaneous plunge into deep thought." - Booklist "While philosophy is often seen as no laughing matter, Klein's book is an argument that it can and should be.It's hard to imagine a better guide." - Matt Staggs, Biographile "A delightful book that is easily applicable to any stage of life. Even when explaining the underlying theories behind a quote, the author's writing is understandable for readers who have no prior philosophy background. Yet, philosophy students will also enjoy seeing the discipline applied to everyday life." - Library Journal "Daniel Klein has now gifted up with a compendium of wisdom - quotes from the world's greatest philosophers, often with a light touch." - Ann LaFarge, Hudson Valley News Praise for  Travels with Epicurus "An insightful meditation.


" - The New York Times Book Review "Along the way, Klein touches on the ideas of Bertrand Russell, Erik Erikson, Aristotle, and William James. Klein's narrative is a delightful and spirited conversation, offering up the ingredients inherent to the art of living well in old age." - Publisher's Weekly "Charming and accessible, this philosophical survey simply and accessibly makes academic philosophy relevant to ordinary human emotion." - Kirkus Review "Witty and wry" - Huffington Post "A lovely little book with both heart and punch." - Booklist "A delightful book that is easily applicable to any stage of life. Even when explaining the underlying theories behind a quote, the author's writing is understandable for readers who have no prior philosophy background. Yet, philosophy students will also enjoy seeing the discipline applied to everyday life."  - Laura Hiatt-Smith, Library Journal "A charming meditation on aging.


Daniel Klein takes us on a thought-provoking journey." - The Weekly Standard Book Review "Reading this book after a period of overwork and high stress, I was bowled over by its easy charm and hard-won wisdom. I shall be buying it in bulk as presents for my equally overburdened peers, and I suspect a few older people will enjoy it, too." - Markus Berkmann, The Daily Mail "If you think philosophy is hard stuff that makes your head spin and possibly hurt, Klein is the perfect guide to deep thinking.  Being fully aware and wondering how best to spend our time are useful practices at any age, and this warm, thought-provoking book is a terrific introduction to thinking about life philosophically." - Concord Monitor.
