"The book 'Socrates Express,' read as part of our company's book club, gathers us every Wednesday at lunchtime. We read 50 to 100 pages weekly and share our thoughts briefly. Despite a tight schedule, it's a manageable read in 1-2 hours, adding several titles to our collective reading list.
Reading books weekly at work, it's a bonus if they're engaging. However, 'Socrates Express' didn't match my taste. Authored by a bestseller writer, the humor (presumably English in style) fell flat for me. A straightforward presentation of refined thoughts might have been preferable. The author attempted to connect with readers through 14 philosophers and various metaphors, but these often detracted from the main points, causing confusion.
Nevertheless, Stoic philosophy within the book resonated with me.
