About this ebook
Philosophy professor Lou Marinoff, Ph.D. offers eternal wisdom to help cope with everyday problems in Plato, Not Prozac!
"You don't need a prescription for this mind-opening, possibly life-altering book. . . . The Thinking person's guide to understanding yourself." — Cleveland Plain Dealer
If you're facing a dilemma—whether it's handling a relationship, living ethically, dealing with a career change, or finding meaning in life—the world's most important thinkers from centuries past will help guide you toward a solution compatible with your individual beliefs. From Kirkegaard's thoughts on coping with death to the I Ching's guidelines on adapting to change, Plato, Not Prozac! makes philosophy accessible and shows you how to use it to solve your everyday problems.
Gone is the need for expensive therapists, medication, and lengthy analysis. Clearly organized by common problems to help you tailor Dr. Lou Marinoff's advice to your own needs, this is an intelligent, effective, and persuasive prescription for self-healing therapy that is giving psychotherapy a run for its money.
"Philosophy [to Marinoff] is the Lava bar of intellect—meant to be used every day, down to the nub." — San Francisco Examiner
" Plato, Not Prozac! looks to become the bible of the 'philosophical counseling' movement." — Philadelphia Inquirer Magazine
"The ancient thinkers often characterized philosophy as 'medicine for the soul.' Marinoff provides a generous dose throughout these lively pages. I highly recommend it!"—Tom Morris, Ph.D., author of Plato's Lemonade Stand
