Book Synopsis
Sometimes it seems like you need a PhD just to open a book of philosophy. Exploring the works of some of history's most important thinkers in the context of the everyday struggles of his students, the author guides us through the most vexing quandaries of our existence - and shows just how enriching the examined life can be.

Trade Review
"Samuelson is a philosopher with a knack for storytelling. As a result, The Deepest Human Life is a book that humanizes philosophy and that relates grand philosophical themes to the lives of ordinary people. Not only that, but Samuelson writes in a manner that ordinary people-meaning those without a philosophical background-will find inviting. Readers will come away with a better understanding of some of philosophy's fundamental concepts and in many cases will also have taken important first steps toward conducting an examination of their own lives." (William B. Irvine, author of A Guide to the Good Life)"
