Every Time I Find the Meaning of Life, They Change It: Wisdom of the Great Philosophers on How to Live

Love the different approaches the author presents as to how to live one’s life and what’s the meaning of it all (obviously there’s o clear answer). Everything is told in a serious yet light and whimsical manner, just fantastic (like his other books)!

Entertaining. Not to be confused with meaningful literature. Sort of like good TV is not to be confused with great cinema. But, an entertaining read.

I thoroughly enjoyed this inspiring, friendly, witty and deeply intelligent philosophical journey. Definitely worth the read. Very engaging. I highly recommend it : thank you Daniel.

I love this book. I have bought 4 books to gift to people because I love it that much. I love that it’s structured quote first and then history/explanation/application of said quote. I read it at least once every year and I always learn something new about myself and the quotes. It never fails that I look back and see the quote differently in different stages of my life. A GREAT read would be an understatement.

A kaleidoscope of personal yet universal interpretations of philosophical quotes/stand points brilliantly yet simply expressed. This book is light and deep, deftly weaving humour with wisdom and questions about wisdom. A treat.

This is my third Daniel Klein book and probably the meatiest in terms of discussion.of philosophy and its application to a meaningful life. Kudos to a gentlemen who is at or near the 80 year point and still writing witty, thoughtful and original material. I only took one Philosophy course in college rather than majoring in it as Klein did. It was difficult and delightful. I would say the same about Klein's books-deceptively short and humorous, but worthy of reflection. Food for thought and ammunition for multiple interesting conversations.

life", which I believe are subtly different. It would have also been nice to explore a related concept of "what it is like to be me" and the possible influence this would have on the meaning and purpose of life. My personal opinion, as a layman, is that the ultimate meaning/purpose of life is an accumulation of the many interactions each of us has as life progresses. Most are short and evernescent, many are ongoing and deep, some are negative, most hopefully positive and who we are is influenced by the multitude of these inter-personal interactions; similar to the many ongoing interactions between subatomic particles permitting our Universe.

What Richard Fortey's book Earth was to geology, this is to philosophy: no expertise required for enjoyment, of which there is plenty. One can imagine Miss Marple gently tittering with appreciation.

Ich geniesse dieses Buch. Für mich ist es wie eine kleine Wanderung in wichtige Gedanken wichtiger Philosophen.

One of my favourite books I’ve read. Definitely a re-reader.

Funny and insightfull, it gives food for thought without being too heavy. Much like other books from mr. Klein. I like it 😉

A useful and wonderful read!

I bought this book for my husband and it kept him interested for as long as he took to read it. Whether you are introspective or an extrovert, there is a message for everyone in the text! A series of pithy quotes by philosophers through the ages. Excellent author is Daniel Klein
