  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased.

Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

AS HEARD ON RADIO 4'S DESERT ISLAND DISCS

'Thought-provoking' Financial Times

'Wonderful ... shows how modern psychology is consistent with the best that was thought and known in the Ancient World ... beautifully written' Lord Richard Layard, author of Happiness- Lessons From A New Science

Jules Evans reveals how ancient philosophy saved his life and can make us all happier, wiser and more resilient. This book is an invitation to a dream school with a faculty that includes 12 of the greatest philosophers from the ancient world, sharing practical techniques we can use to better our lives.

Featuring extraordinary stories from real people who are using these techniques - from marines to magicians, astronauts to anarchists and CBT psychologists to soldiers - Jules Evans demonstrates the timeless relevance of these teachings in everyday life.

Philosophy on Life reveals how the wisdom of the past can illuminate the path to a brighter and more fulfilled future for us all.
