INTELEKTUALNA PODRÓŻ ŚLADAMI NAJWIĘKSZYCH FILOZOFÓW Co wspólnego mają filozofia i terapia? Dlaczego wybitni myśliciele tak chętnie spacerowali? Czy przewidywanie nieszczęść może być pomocne? I czy filozofia potrafi odpowiedzieć na pytanie, jak wieść szczęśliwe życie? Eric Weiner, autor bestsellerowej Geografii szczęścia, znów wyrusza w podróż. Tym razem wraz z czytelnikami odwiedza miejsca zawiązane z najbardziej wpływowymi myślicielami w historii, między innymi: Grecję, Japonię, Szwajcarię, Wielką Brytanię i Indie. Podróżując pociągiem, zgłębia myśli najwybitniejszych filozofów i próbuje w nich znaleźć odpowiedź na kluczowe egzystencjalne pytania. Ekspresem z Sokratesem. Czego martwi filozofowie uczą nas o życiu to nie tylko fascynująca podróż w poszukiwaniu mądrości. To także zbiór praktycznych duchowych lekcji, które mogą stanowić dla nas ukojenie w dzisiejszych niespokojnych czasach. ERIC WEINER wielokrotnie nagradzany dziennikarz i autor bestsellerów przetłumaczonych na ponad 20 języków. Były korespondent National Public Radio oraz reporter The New York Times.

Travel the world with Eric Weiner, the New York Times bestselling author of The Geography of Bliss, as he journeys from Athens to Silicon Valley-and throughout history, too-to show how creative genius flourishes in specific places at specific times. In The Geography of Genius, acclaimed travel writer Weiner sets out to examine the connection between our surroundings and our most innovative ideas. He explores the history of places, like Vienna of 1900, Renaissance Florence, ancient Athens, Song Dynasty Hangzhou, and Silicon Valley, to show how certain urban settings are conducive to ingenuity. And, with his trademark insightful humour, he walks the same paths as the geniuses who flourished in these settings to see if the spirit of what inspired figures like Socrates, Michelangelo, and Leonardo remains. In these places, Weiner asks, What was in the air, and can we bottle it? This link can be traced back through history: Darwin's theory of evolution gelled while he was riding in a carriage. Freud did his best thinking at this favourite coffee house. Beethoven, like many geniuses, preferred long walks in the woods. Sharp and provocative, The Geography of Genius redefines the argument about how genius came to be. His evaluation of the importance of culture in nurturing creativity is an informed romp through history
