‘A refreshingly spontaneous plunge into deep thought.’
*Booklist*
‘A delightful book that is easily applicable to any stage of life.
Even when explaining the underlying theories behind a quote, the
author’s writing is understandable for readers who have no prior
philosophy background. Yet, philosophy students will also enjoy
seeing the discipline applied to everyday life.’
*Library Journal*
'Klein offers new views on some of the most famous philosophical
pronouncements published, with plenty of Pithies for everyone'.
*Press Association*
‘Wise, witty and entertaining. With his latest book Daniel Klein
has given a fascinating spin to the ideas of the great philosophers
and made them relevant – even necessary – for the
dilemmas and possibilities of everyday living today.’
*Roman Krznaric, author of Empathy and The
Wonderbox*
‘Daniel Klein’s relaxed and humorous style is deceptive. You will
enjoy his wit and then realise that you have been treated to his
wisdom. It is a superb introduction to philosophy, showing how its
problems are not only intriguing and challenging but also of the
utmost relevance to our lives.’
*Raymond Tallis, author of The Kingdom of Infinite Space*
