How to Stop Living and Start Worrying by Simon Critchley
The question of how to lead a happy and meaningful life has been at the heart of philosophical debate since time immemorial. This book tackles the question of 'how to live' by forcing us to explore our troubling relationship with death. It provides an introduction to the thought of Simon Critchley.Boyd Tonkin, The Independent
"The pages are stuffed with reminiscence and intriguing passing ideas as well as more arguments (of greater or lesser plausability) than most books twice the length. The intellectual register soars and plunges in a pleasing rhythm."
Steven Poole, The Guardian
"Apart from his charming autobiography, Critchley is remarkably adept at clearly explaining quite difficult ideas."
Nina Power, Philosophers' Magazine
"Carl Cederstrom's book of interviews with Simon Critchley, reminded me that I was not the only tinnitus-blighted Scouser to be fighting the good fight for 'Continental' philosophy!"
Mark Thwaite, Ready Steady Book
"An indispensable resource to anyone interested in Critchley's writing."
A Piece of Monologue
"After reading this book, I was, I must admit, sorely tempted to answer Camus's famous question in the affirmative."
