Honestly one of the best philosophy books I've ever read. I highlighted so many different paragraphs that I loved, and learning so much only made me want to dive deeper into the subject. Not only that, I think it's a very important book to read, as it teaches you about critical thinking, how to make good arguments, listen well, and become a better person.
This is a really great book.
I decided to read it before having a bit of a dive into some philosophy, and I'm glad I did. It's not only going to help me to read some philosophy, but it's going to help me be a better thinker all round. I suspect I'll end up re-reading it a few times over the coming years, because even by making notes, I don't believe I've got anywhere near the most from it on a single reading.
As well as having excellent content, it's very well written, very clear, and with just enough humour to break it up, although at no point did it approach any level of tedium.
I'll be looking out for other books from Mr Baggini!
