About this audiobook
Award-winning author and professor of philosophy at Harvard University,Robert Nozick shares his reflections here on happiness, spirituality, pain and suffering. “The world is unsuspectedly rich if one approaches it with the right attitude,” he tells us, and encourages us “to pay a particular kind of attention to this world, and to view it freshly” for a fuller experience of the true nature of self and reality.
