In a world where the capacity to think deeply has been lost, a path back to the original wellspring: our own minds. Why does modern life make us feel so restless? Constantly overstimulated by relentless busyness and endless entertainment options, we are, counterintuitively, deeply bored. The ancient philosophers would tell us that we're reaping the consequences of neglecting the intellectual labors vital to our humanity. The way out of this low-grade existential despair and into a life characterized by sublime wonder and deep fulfillment is simple. But it's not easy. The Work of Philosophy offers a path to thinking deeply in our frantic 21st century. But you need not join a monastery or go off into the desert to nurture a rich interior life: anyone can do it with a little discipline and a few hours a day. Henderson’s program draws on examples from Aristotle, Montaigne, Wendell Berry, Hannah Arendt, C.S. Lewis and more to teach readers to follow a line of inquiry, to read deeply and write with intention, and to create a community that will support you in your intellectual endeavors. Like many great thinkers before you, you can find deep respite and fulfillment in the life of the mind. With the guidance in this book, the treasures of the philosophical life are open to everyone.

Jared Henderson is a writer and philosopher with a PhD from the University of Connecticut. His YouTube channel has reached over 40 million views, and his Substack, Commonplace Philosophy, has over 50,000 readers. He writes for autodidacts and anyone who believes philosophy belongs to them.
