Before there was "Chicken Soup for the Soul" or "The Secret," there was a condemned Roman aristocrat writing philosophy by candlelight while awaiting execution. Meet Boethius: Rome's most overachieving nerd who went from Senate superstar to death row philosopher faster than you can say "political conspiracy." In "PRISON PHILOSOPHY," you'll discover:
How Boethius invented the self-help genre while literally awaiting execution (talk about deadline pressure!)
Why Fortune is basically that toxic friend who builds you up just to watch you fall
How to find happiness according to a guy who was objectively in one of the least happy situations imaginable
The mind-bending solution to free will vs. divine foreknowledge that's kept philosophy professors employed for 1500 years
Why kings, monks, and scholars all suddenly decided prison writings were the hottest thing in medieval town
How to apply "The Consolation of Philosophy" without the inconvenience of imprisonment or execution
Part biography, part philosophical roast, and part genuine life advice, this irreverent guide transforms Boethius's dense philosophical classic into a laugh-out-loud exploration of life's biggest questions. You'll learn how a man who lost everything-wealth, freedom, and eventually his head-managed to write a book so influential it would be read for the next thousand years. Whether you're facing your own wheel of fortune or just enjoy philosophical humor that doesn't take itself too seriously, "PRISON PHILOSOPHY" delivers ancient wisdom with modern wit. Because sometimes the best life advice comes from someone having a worse day than you. Warning: May cause uncontrollable laughter, unexpected philosophical insights, and the sudden urge to write your memoirs the next time you're mildly inconvenienced.
