This one was a little hard for me as a philosophy major. I do like part of it, but I don't know that I liked it overall? I'm honestly still confused about how I feel.

If you have more than a passing interest in philosophy and its value in everyday existence, but don't have the stomach for dense Kantian wisdom or Camus' wordy musings on the absurd, The Philosophy Cure was written with you in mind. Laurence Devillairs distills the ideas of some of the great thinkers of humanity into bite size chapters, covering a wide range of topics including love, work, boredom, addiction, and the doldrums of routine.
Devillairs' ability to parse through the dense texts in the field makes this the perfect read for the "armchair philosopher" interested in seeing how the thoughts and ideas of past thinkers can still apply in our modern world. It's a fairly quick read as well, so it's easy to pick up and read a couple of chapters without a gigantic time commitment.

This book was addicting. You wanted to continue reading even long after it was over. The characters felt so real and relatable, and the story was so original.
