Author Description

Do your bones ache? Are you zipping through the universe on an unusual rock? Have you met with an inexplicable and incomprehensible fate? You must just be a human. There's no known cure, but for thousands of years, thinkers have struggled with figuring out just what it is we are, and what we should be doing with our time on Earth. In this digestible alternative self-help book, Professor Dan Lawrence explains how madness and creativity were central to ancient Greek thinking, and how we can lean into our madness and our humanity in our present age of rapid technological development.
