Title: Not Enough Original Thought; Too Much Name-Dropping
Review: I've always loved the fact that long-distance sports such as running and cycling have rhythms to them which allow the athlete to take a metaphysical journey along with the physical one. I liked Sheehan's articles in "Runner's World" years ago, and I liked his book "Running to Win".This one simply isn't as good. For whatever reason, Sheehan seemed bent on naming as many other thinkers as he could, without appearing to really assimilate much.If you have never read any philosophy yourself, you may find some value in this book; but if you've studied philosophy at all, I'd recommend you skip it.
Is the review positive or negative?
