Story4.5 out of 5 stars 91
The dramatic nature of Plato's dialogues is delightfully evident in Symposium. The marriage between character and thought bursts forth as the guests gather at Agathon's house to celebrate the success of his first tragedy. With wit and insight, they all present their ideas about love - from Erixymachus' scientific naturalism to Aristophanes' comic fantasy. The unexpected arrival of Alcibiades breaks the spell cast by Diotima's ethereal climb up the staircase of love to beauty itself.

Symposium is not my favorite dialog to read, but it is my favorite to listen to. This audio-book gave me that feeling like I wanted to cry, not because I was sad, but because I was so moved. If you're into this feeling, you should definitely listen carefully to this book. You'll love it.

Erik Wahl, a visual artist, speaker, and entrepreneur, helps us unite the yin and yang of creativity - the dynamic new ideas with the dogged effort. He shows why we won't get far if we rely on the spark without the grind or the grind without the spark. What the world really needs are the creators who can hold the two in balance.

I like it. It was okay. The author started to sound a little snooty in the final third of the book but ended on a positive note.
The reader/performer did a good job. I liked listening to her voice.
