520    "David Hume (1711-1776) is perhaps best known for his 
       ideas about cause and effect and his criticisms of 
       religion, but he is rarely thought of as a philosopher 
       with practical wisdom to offer. Yet Hume's philosophy is 
       grounded in an honest assessment of nature--human nature 
       in particular. The Great Guide is an engaging and eye-
       opening account of how Hume's thought should serve as the 
       basis for a complete approach to life. In this enthralling
       book, Julian Baggini masterfully interweaves biography 
       with intellectual history and philosophy to give us a 
       complete vision of Hume's guide to life. He follows Hume 
       on his life's journey, literally walking in the great 
       philosopher's footsteps as Baggini takes readers to the 
       places that inspired Hume the most, from his family estate
       near the Scottish border to Paris, where, as an older man,
       he was warmly embraced by French society. Baggini shows 
       how Hume put his philosophy into practice in a life that 
       blended reason and passion, study and leisure, and 
       relaxation and enjoyment. The Great Guide includes 145 
       Humean maxims for living well, on topics ranging from the 
       meaning of success and the value of travel to friendship, 
       facing death, identity, and the importance of leisure. 
       This book shows how life is far richer with Hume as your 
       guide." --book jacket
