In 1895, William James, the father of American philosophy, delivered a lecture entitled 鈥淚s Life Worth Living?鈥� It was no theoretical question for James, who had contemplated suicide during an existential crisis as a young man a quarter century earlier. Indeed, as John Kaag writes, 鈥淛ames鈥檚 entire philosophy, from beginning to end, was geared to save a life, his life鈥濃�攁nd that鈥檚 why it just might be able to save yours, too. Sick Souls, Healthy Minds is an absorbing introduction to James鈥檚 life and thought that shows why the founder of pragmatism and empirical psychology can still speak so directly and profoundly to anyone struggling to make a life worth living.
