Philosophy is one of the most fascinating subjects to study because it is applicable to everyday life. Marie Robert's book is proof of the many areas where we can turn to philosophers for wisdom and advice. One doesn't need to pick up each and every individual great work of the philosophers - all we need to do is to read her book! Witty, humorous, serious in the places where it needs to be, When you Kant figure it out, ask a philosopher indeed contains timeless wisdom for modern dilemmas, whether it is shopping at IKEA, working hard to reach a goal, becoming an entrepreneur, going on a blind date, meeting your significant other's family, making the best of an ugly sweater, or dealing with the death of a loved one (I mentioned it is serious in some places, right?).

Marie Robert explains in the beginning of the book that she set out to write it to reshape philosophy's image and help people see it as a useful tool to navigate life. There are thousands of amazing thinkers out there, who spent most of their life thinking about desire, passion, love, truth, time, language and much more. Through the situations that she describes, some of which I have faced at some point of time, I was able to see philosophy in a more practical light and learn more about the ideas of these great philosophers. I look forward to turning to them in the future when I am stuck.
