In this episode, my guest is Scott Samuelson, the author of the new book Rome as a Guide to the Good Life. His other works include The Deepest Human Life and Seven Ways of Looking at Pointless Suffering. Scott is a professor of philosophy and has taught the humanities in universities, colleges, and even prisons. 

In the conversation, Scott and I discuss, 

• How Rome can help us live the good life
• The benefits of detours on the journey
• Daring to be Wise
• The Meaning of Life
• Rome and the search for wisdom and much more
