A Guide to the Good Life

In this episode of In Search of Wisdom, my guest is Scott Samuelson, the author of the new book Rome as a Guide to the Good Life. His other works include The Deepest Human Life and Seven Ways of Looking at Pointless Suffering. Scott is a professor of philosophy and has taught the humanities in universities, colleges, and even prisons.

In the conversation, Scott and I discuss,

  • How Rome can help us live the good life

  • The benefits of detours on the journey

  • Daring to be Wise

  • The Meaning of Life

  • Rome and the search for wisdom and much more
