For anyone who has ever wondered about the meaning of life!
Mark Vernon is a writer, journalist, broadcaster, academic, and former priest. Author of numerous books including What Not to Say: Finding The Right Words At Difficult Moments, he is an Honorary Research Fellow at Birkbeck College, University of London, and a regular contributor on various BBC radio and television shows.
"Mark Vernon is one of the most thoughtful, accessible and lucid popular philosophers writing today." Julian Baggini, author of The Pig that Wants to be Eaten and 99 other thought experiments."A joy to read, yielding both wisdom and delight in perfectly sized portions. A trip to the supermarket will never be the same again." Professor Richard Schoch, Queen Mary, University of London and author of The Secrets of Happiness."In today's dumbed-down culture, it sometimes feels as though ideas are too readily reduced to sound-bites and aphorisms. How refreshing that Vernon turns this trend on its head and uses well known aphorisms to allow readers to think more deeply about life, love, the universe and everything." Claire Fox, Director, Institute of Ideas and panelist on BBC Radio 4's The Moral Maze
