BREAKFAST WITH SOCRATES An Extraordinary (Philosophical) Journey Through Your Ordinary Day

What better way to get a dose of philosophy than to hear concrete examples of how it applies to your everyday life? In this interesting book of applied philosophy, author Smith looks at things we do often—sleep, eat, work, shop, and visit the doctor—and uses philosophical concepts to explain how they relate to the deeper meaning in life. Narrator Simon Prebble lends his smooth British voice to the discussion, helping listeners navigate this day of insights with a subtle conversational style. While listeners may find the narration a bit quick at times—it’s beneficial to pause every now and then to let things sink in—this is a fine reading of an excellent book.
