Philosophical traditions applied to everyday dilemmas

Organized around common personal concerns, Plato, Not Prozac! presents philosophy as a practical framework for reflection and decision-making. Lou Marinoff draws on thinkers and traditions from different periods—including Kierkegaard on death and the I Ching on change—to address relationships, ethical questions, career transitions, and the search for meaning. The book’s approach centers on connecting these ideas with an individual’s own beliefs, offering philosophical counsel as an alternative lens for working through difficult situations. Its problem-by-problem structure makes the broad subject of philosophy more directly tied to daily life.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in using philosophical ideas for personal reflection
  • Readers navigating questions about relationships, ethics, change, or meaning
  • Those seeking a structured, nonclinical approach to everyday dilemmas

Book overview

If you're facing a dilemma -- whether it's handling a relationship, living ethically, dealing with a career change, or finding meaning in life -- the world's most important thinkers from centuries past will help guide you toward a solution compatible with your individual beliefs. From Kirkegaard's thoughts on coping with death to the I Ching's guidelines on adapting to change, Plato, Not Prozac! makes philosophy accessible and shows you how to use it to solve your everyday problems.

Gone is the need for expensive therapists, medication, and lengthy analysis. Clearly organized by common problems to help you tailor Dr. Lou Marinoff's advice to your own needs, this is an intelligent, effective, and persuasive prescription for self-healing therapy that is giving psychotherapy a run for its money.
