Travels with Epicurus: A Journey to a Greek Island in Search of a Fulfilled Life

A visit to the dentist prompts a late-life turning point and a pilgrimage to the land of sun and sea.

Daniel Klein was in his seventies when his dentist told him he'd need tooth implants if he wanted to avoid wearing old-fashioned and old-looking denture plates. But instead of going under the drill, he headed to Greece to see if one of his favorite philosophers, the sage Epicurus, could teach him something about the pleasures available only later life.

A travel book, a witty and accessible meditation, and an optimistic guide to living well, Travels with Epicurus is a delightful jaunt to the Aegean and through th terrain of old age that only Klein could lead. New York Times bestselling coauthor of Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar.

"An insightful meditation."
The New York Times Book Review

"Witty and wry."
The Haffington Post

"Klein's narrative is a delightful and spirited conversation, offering up the ingredients to the art of living well in old age."
