An absolute joy ... This fascinating book is as close as you'll get
to hiring history's wisest minds as your personal life advisers

Can't Stand Positive Thinking*
An inspired navigation tool for the maze of existence

Humour and Humanity*
As we all know, life doesn't come with an instruction manual. But
Baggini's and Macaro's book, building on the wisdom of thousands of
years of philosophy, comes pretty close to it.
