Críticas:
I am often asked to recommend a good introduction to philosophy - now I've discovered one ... Smith's work is witty, inventive and intelligent (THES)

I'll never drive the same way again. Or have a midlife crisis the same way again, for that matter. This book is elegant proof that philosophy doesn't have to be fusty and musty. (A.J. Jacobs, author of The Year of Living Biblically)

Take a seat and become thoroughly absorbed in this fascinating journey. Great stuff. (Frank Furedi)

...fascinating and deeply impressive book. (Daily Mail)

...not only will this book entertain you, educate you and amuse you, it may very well help you stay younger... (Bookbag)

A friendly guide to the meaning of life's milestones. (The Guardian)

Smith has the suave wit of the professional intellectual. (The Financial Times)

A remarkably varied and eclectic introduction to the great philosophers and a defense of their continuing relevance... (Publishers Weekly)

Apart from his genial, translucently beautiful writing - a treat in itself - Smith (a Former Prize fellow of All Souls College, Oxford) reconnects us to the ancients and not so ancients whose sagacity is too often relegated to dusty university libraries. (SA Jewish Report)

There are no ivory tower views. The author draws from many sources as well as making his own acute observations and reflections [...] The range of sources, both serious and trivial, is breathtaking. (Oxford Times)
Reseña del editor:

If life is meaningless as Sartre suggests, what is the point of being born? What does Freud have to say about losing one's virginity or Nietzsche about having a mid-life crisis? From birth to death (and beyond), the best brains in history have thought long and hard about the meaning behind the landmarks that shape our lives - and now acclaimed popular philosopher Robert Rowland Smith brings their genius together for the first time in this smart, witty and accessible journey through life's ups and downs.

Drawing on philosophy, art, literature and psychology, Driving with Plato explores the real meaning of the hoops we all have to jump through. You'll hear from Aristotle on starting school, learn from St Paul about falling in love, and get tips from Cicero on becoming wise in your old age. Whether you are learning to drive or about to get married, Driving with Plato is certain to enlighten and entertain.
