Philosophy is much more practical than you think, and TAKE IT PHILOSOPHICALLY/Tomalo con filosofia opens the heart and mind so much that there is no better remedy in these uncertain and complicated times. This book will teach the reader how to apply the philosophy of such titans of philosophy as Aristotle, Kierkegaard, Marx and others to our daily lives. Taking a cue from the most ancient schools, this multifaceted book shows us how philosophy can still powerfully impact our lives. Not philosophy intended as an intellectual amusement, but as a serious game conducted on our existence and our path. Philosophy as a bridge to cross and not a house to live in, as an art of living harmoniously, as an education and training of oneself to blossom in our most composite and true self, to find our place in the world. It is precisely this approach that makes "Take it philosophically" an incomplete map to enter the labyrinth of the world. A compass that does not point north. A road that leads nowhere. A series of pages bound and held together by a cover, but also a set of botanical instructions and an exercise in imagination. All with one purpose: to teach you to flourish. It is a book that keeps the promise made in the title: it allows you to "take it philosophically" even in the way you read it, choosing the reading path that suits you best. You can read it as if it were a normal book, from start to finish, or you can follow the instructions that you find at the end of each chapter, where you will be asked to continue in a different point in the text. Depending on your choices, your path will be different; a bit like in life, where the decisions we make determine a large part of our destiny. Take it philosophically is a path towards what the authors call "personal flowering", and you can reread it several times, finding a different book each time.
