"In this flowing stream then, on which there is no abiding, what is there of the things which hurry by on which a man would set a high price? It would be just as if a man should fall in love with one of the sparrows which fly by, but it has already passed out of sight." –Meditations, 6.15

I think this is the best audiobook I've recorded. Not all that many people have purchased it, although it's been getting great reviews. So I'm glad to see "How to Think like Socrates" is so popular in the Toronto Public Library system that forty people are on the waiting list to listen to it.

Some people hate my readings of audiobooks. The last reviewer wrote on Audible "I’m sure the reader of this book is a wonderful person, but his presumably Irish accent makes this a difficult lessen." This reviewer on Goodreads had a much more positive reaction. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

This is Hitler in 1938 signing the Munich Agreement. (Mussolini is there too, although he didn't sign.) The British Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, famously returned home waving the signed document and announced they had agreed “peace for our time!”
