>About The Book:   After his recovery, he discarded the pages he had 
>written, and with a new sense of urgency, wrote this book, turning to some 
>of the greatest thinkers and writers of the Western world to understand 
>where and how to find meaning.Where Shall Wisdom Be Found? Is Bloom s most 
>inspiring book yet.  Through comparisons of the Book of Job and 
>Ecclesiastes, Plato and Homer, Cervantes and Shakespeare, Montaigne and 
>Bacon, Johnson and Goethe, Emerson and Nietzsche, Freud and Proust, and 
>finally discussions of the Gospel of Thomas and Saint Augustine, he 
>distills for us the various and even contrary forms of wisdom that have 
>shaped our thinking.
