Opis

Doing Valuable Time considers the interest-and disinterest-we take in our own lives. It explores the nature of meaningful living, the attraction to the future that is lost in depression, the motivating force of hope, the role of commitments, the inevitability of boredom, and the possibilities for contentment with imperfection.

Recenzje

Doing Valuable Time is a philosophical exercise, yet one with immensely practicable thoughts and concerns. ... I found it an encouraging and informing book.
