Sick Souls, Healthy Minds

Více o knize

"In 1895, William James, the father of American philosophy, delivered a lecture entitled "Is Life Worth Living?" It was no theoretical question for James, who had contemplated suicide during an existential crisis as a young man a quarter century earlier. Indeed, as John Kaag writes, "James?s entire philosophy, from beginning to end, was geared to save a life, his life"?and that?s why it just might be able to save yours, too. Sick Souls, Healthy Minds is a compelling introduction to James?s life and thought that shows why the founder of pragmatism and empirical psychology?and an inspiration for Alcoholics Anonymous?can still speak so directly and profoundly to anyone struggling to make a life worth living." -- publisher's website
