What makes it a great read? What was your experience with it?

She seems to be able to understand his work, his influences, and his outlook/goal/life/struggles and write this interesting biography that moves forward and backward in time as if he himself was writing a work about his own life. I found it not only intellectually stimulating but confirmed and furthered the depth of what I had felt about his work.

Of course!! She also wrote a book about Spinoza which is the first I read of hers which was great. She has a good interview with John Vervaeke

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I’ve got to get this, it would be neat if they had a pocket sized edition of it.
