Like JRR Tolkien, who wrote The Hobbit for his own children, this book speaks a delightful wisdom for all ages.
One of the chapters explains humanity's traditional approach to death. Covid has revealed how fearful we are of death, but Ahmari quotes the Roman philosopher Seneca, "Whoever doesn't want to die doesn't want to live." I would read this book just for this chapter, because only in losing our fear of death can we begin to really live.
