The book explores how modern societal problems are similar to those faced throughout history and how insights from classical literature offer solutions more effectively than modern-day gurus. It emphasizes the importance of understanding that many current crises are not new, but rather manifestations of age-old questions, and that the answers can be found in the wisdom of ancient texts.

I've got it right here in my hand, How to Save the West, Ancient Wisdom for Five Modern Crises.

as a published author with a hardcover book

in this book and throughout my whole career is that you look at the news cycle and every day it seems like there's some new crisis that is flashing across the headlines.

They're transing the kids all of a sudden. The economy is falling apart. The internet seems to be destroying everything and like America is breaking apart.

what I wanted to propose, and this is based on a lifelong love of the classics and of the great texts of the West, is that even though every day seems to bring kind of something new to fret about, a lot of the questions that are underlying our problems are questions that have been asked again and again.
