Scott Samuelson lives in Iowa City, Iowa, where he teaches philosophy at Kirkwood Community College and is a movie reviewer, television host, and sous-chef at a French restaurant on a gravel road.
"""Samuelson is a philosopher with a knack for storytelling. As a result, The Deepest Human Life is a book that humanizes philosophy and that relates grand philosophical themes to the lives of ordinary people. Not only that, but Samuelson writes in a manner that ordinary people-meaning those without a philosophical background-will find inviting. Readers will come away with a better understanding of some of philosophy's fundamental concepts and in many cases will also have taken important first steps toward conducting an examination of their own lives."" (William B. Irvine, author of A Guide to the Good Life)"""
