Review Finalist for the PROSE Award in Philosophy, Association of American PublishersOne of Next Big Idea Clubs Most Anticipated Nonfiction Books of Spring[William] James would have liked this book. [John] Kaag ties James’s ideas directly to the challenges and puzzles of his own life and his readers’ lives. . . . James’s ideas have rippled through the past century more powerfully than those of any other American thinker. Kaag’s little book reminds us why.---James T. Kloppenberg, Washington PostThis short book is an excellent introduction to William James and his philosophy.---John Banville, Literary ReviewCharacteristically elegant. . . . [Kaag] questioned the meaning of life. William James answered.---John Williams, New York Times Book ReviewPithy and exacting. . . . Kaag, who by his own admission is ‘not always entirely sold on life’s value,’ writes with the fervor of on determined to hear life’s higher notes. . . . in these anxiety-inducing times, it may be worth testing the buoyancy of James’s existential life preserver.---Heller McAlpin, Wall Street JournalEarnest, accessible. . . . As [John] Kaag traces [William] James’s intellectual path away from determinism and depression, he both clarifies thorny academic questions and offers dashes of self-help, showing how today’s anxious souls might apply James’s principles and learn how to be not afraid of life. New YorkerKaag writes movingly. . . . This is a tough, honest book that offers no easy answers. . . . Kaag acknowledges that our passage through life is fraught with risks, but those risks always include the chance of happiness.---Ron Charles, Washington Post Book Club[A] lucid and absorbing book.---Andrew Stark, Times Literary SupplementKaags reading of James is as elucidating as readers have come to expect from him.

A book in which Kaag further carves out his niche in philosophy: personal, practical, and crucial. Kirkus Reviews From the celebrated author of American Philosophy: A Love Story and Hiking with Nietzsche, a compelling introduction to the life-affirming philosophy of William JamesIn 1895, William James, the father of American philosophy, delivered a lecture entitled Is Life Worth Living? It was no theoretical question for James, who had contemplated suicide during an existential crisis as a young man a quarter century earlier. Indeed, as John Kaag writes, Jamess entire philosophy, from beginning to end, was geared to save a life, his life and thats why it just might be able to save yours, too. Sick Souls, Healthy Minds is a compelling introduction to Jamess life and thought that shows why the founder of pragmatism and empirical psychology and an inspiration for Alcoholics Anonymous can still speak so directly and profoundly to anyone struggling to make a life worth living.Kaag tells how Jamess experiences as one of what he called the sick-souled, those who think that life might be meaningless, drove him to articulate an ideal of healthy-mindedness an attitude toward life that is open, active, and hopeful, but also realistic about its risks. In fact, all of Jamess pragmatism, resting on the idea that truth should be judged by its practical consequences for our lives, is a response to, and possible antidote for, crises of meaning that threaten to undo many of us at one time or another. Along the way, Kaag also movingly describes how his own life has been endlessly enriched by James.Eloquent, inspiring, and filled with insight, Sick Souls, Healthy Minds may be the smartest and most important self-help book youll ever read. Review Not since Robert Pirsigs Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance have I read such a mesmerizing confluence of personal experience and formal thought as John Kaags American Philosophy:
