In this episode, my guest is Scott Samuelson, the author of the new book Rome as a Guide to the Good Life. His other works include The Deepest Human Life and Seven Ways of Looking at Pointless Suffering. Scott is a professor of philosophy and has taught the humanities in universities, colleges, and even prisons. 


In the conversation, Scott and I discuss,

  • The benefits of detours on the journey
  • Daring to be Wise
  • The Meaning of Life
  • Rome and the search for wisdom and much more
