《广告狂人》，一部很妙的剧，一部不屑于吊观众胃口很粗暴剪辑的剧，表面冷酷暗里汹涌激烈的大部头，用广告这个行业来引线，好像讲的是职业，窜起的确是“人”在不同的政治和历史背景任意情境中为了生存而作出的人生选择和无奈的被选择。而这本书，其实是借了这部剧的壳，从苏格拉底到尼采等等，把历史上很多流派的哲学观点浅显的传递给了读者，所以本来晦涩的哲学，在书中显得很好懂。注：我很着迷剧中Don跟Peggy之间的复杂的亦师亦友亦敌的情感/每周五返深高铁固定看一集，不多不少，成了习惯。

评分Extremely interesting. Skillfully use basic concepts in philosophy to understand major characters and story lines in Mad Men. In the meantime, explaining these philosophical concepts in a simple and logic way that even a layman would find it easy to grasp. Also provides with a philosophical/logical way to understand the past and current world.
