Travels with Epicurus: A Journey to a Greek Island in Search of a Fulfilled Life

Holly says: This slim memoir from Daniel Klein follows the author on a trip to the Greek island of Hydra, where he immerses himself in the local culture in hopes of discovering the secrets of aging happily. Infused throughout with quotes and reflections from Greek philosophers and his island neighbors, Klein reflects on the simple pleasures available to those who have earned them through time and wisdom. I found this in the slim English-language section of a small Greek bookstore, and found it inspiring and reflective. I can see myself gifting this to several readers in my life.
