This book of 3 essays will give you an introduction to ‘real’ Greek philosophy, and demonstrate that it is an important subject for us today – offering many ‘tips’ about how to live our lives in the best and happiest way.

Plato’s wonderful book The Phaedrus is also explored, giving readers extra insights to this very important and readable book of Plato with its unusual myths, stories and explanations.
