Abstract

In his fourth book, Gerber offers us not an academic treatise but an effort in what he calls applied philosophy. He aims to guide us, as his subtitle says, toward "Living with Equanimity, Zest, and Fulfillment by Applying the Wisdom of the World's Greatest Thinkers." Too sweeping a goal? Perhaps. But this is not some fluffy self-help book. It is a serious work by an experienced philosopher.
