Recenzje

"Part memoir and part guide to existentialism, Kevin Aho has accomplished the rare feat of seamlessly weaving together personal history and substantive philosophical ideas. One Beat More is as engaging to read as it is rife with life-enhancing wisdom."Gordon Marino, author of The Existentialist's Survival Guide"This is a truly beautiful book. Aho presents profound truths about how to live and age in ways that are deeply fulfilling -- and he does so in elegant prose."Drew Leder, author of The Distressed Body
