Reseña del libro "The Philosophical Golfer: Volume 1: From Ancient Greece through the Middle Ages (en Inglés)"
Golfito, ergo sum. I golf, therefore I am. In this revolutionary meditation on golf, professor Andrew Sola and professional golfer Bruce Loome use the ground-breaking ideas of the great philosophers to help you become a better golfer. The Philosophical Golfer is not just another instructional book that only shows you how to increase your distance or cure your slice. By using unique insight from geniuses like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, it teaches you how to become a complete golfer, technically and mentally, from tee to green. Furthermore, it explains how golf can help us understand the perennial questions of human existence: Do we have free will? Why should we obey the rules? How do we achieve happiness? And, of course, what is the meaning of life? The great thinkers dedicated themselves to understanding the universe and improving our lives. But until now, no one has considered how their wisdom can help us understand the game of golf. Becoming a philosophical golfer will certainly improve your game-it may also change your life. Volume 1, From Ancient Greece through the Middle Ages, covers the origins and early development of Western philosophy, as well as the predominant Greek and Roman schools of thought, including cynicism, hedonism and stoicism. Each chapter is accompanied by practical tips to improve your performance on the course.
