Midlife - A Philosophical Guide Setiya KieranPaperback
How can you reconcile yourself with the lives you will never lead, with possibilities foreclosed, and with nostalgia for lost youth? In this self-help book with a difference, Kieran Setiya confronts the inevitable challenges of adulthood and middle age, showing how philosophy can help you thrive. How can you accept the failings of the past, the sense of futility in the tasks that consume the present, and the prospect of death that blights the future?
You will be introduced to philosophical consolations for mortality. You will learn why missing out might be a good thing, how options are overrated, and when you should be glad you made a mistake. And you will learn what it would mean to live in the present, how it could solve your midlife crisis, and why meditation helps.
