He poses systematic questions pertaining to everyday life. He casts a net of philosophical insights, scientific discoveries, and political events that broadens the perspective of the total human phenomenon. * West German Broadcasting (WDR) *A good introduction to some pretty big ideas. * Big Issue *I found myself getting sucked into this book. * Evening Standard *Precht offers a uniquely enriching and thought-provoking experience. * Good Book Guide *
