It’s a quick little read that’s designed to make you think a little more about daily life in a potentially new way. I particularly like the follow on for each chapter which provides extra reading, videos websites or listening material.

Such an interesting book. Loved the thoughts on thinking more than answering questions. The chapters share lessons on life, society, people skills etc. A short read filled with great ideas.

Philosophy can be a tough subject to get started in, but this book is a great introduction to thinking about these concepts. Older students will need less assistance with the concepts than younger students.

Thank you Quatro Publishing and NetGalley for an ARC of this book in return for my honest review.

I enjoyed this short book philosophical book based upon a number of lessons to “build and become” a new, fresh perspective of approaching life. It was easy to read, without being laden down with the heavy philosophical thought of some texts, but provided great references for further reading if so intrigued.

This was such a short and fun book! I cannot even contain my joy for reading this lovely book on philosophy. I really liked the concept of it (no surprise, I really like books like this one, concise and inspiring).

To start with a quote from the book <i>"philosophy isn't really about getting answers, it's about getting puzzled and thinking deeper, and differently"</i> or how I like to say it - philosophy is the art of never agreeing on anything.

In each chapter the book presents a few lessons on society, guilt, fiction and so on. But it is not trying to tell you the answers or what to believe, rather it raises questions and ideas, presents some philosophers and some of their ideas but without being dull or talking too much about those philosophers (if you are really interested, you can just go ahead and read more of their writings).

I loved how every chapter ended with a conclusion of each lesson, but also a question that wasn't discussed, and a list of things to read or watch or listen to in case you are interested in the subject. Oh, and it recommends the movie Get Out - I am giving 5 stars only for this! (kidding)
