The Philosopher and the Wolf: Lessons from the Wild on Love, Death and Happiness by Mark Rowlands

5.0

This book does not disappoint. It's been on my reading list from the same time The Chimp Paradox was, but was out of print. It makes a good companion piece to the Chimp but is far more existential and evocative than it is analytical. When asked by my Parents in Law for a Christmas gift suggestion I was delighted it was available. They bought me The Chimp too. Hope they're not thinking I'm all analytical and dry. Time for a port.
We are, the author says, at our best in those moments of our lives when the Pit bull has us by the throat and we are without hope. 3017 had a few of those and I hope my inner wolf approves of how I responded. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
