Synopsis

These days, to establish common ground with those who disagree with you, you have to speak in sound bites: simply, clearly, and quickly . . . or people just walk away. This book solves that problem! It shows you how to understand and explain - in less than a minute each - over 175 fundamental notions that form the basis of any truly fulfilling human life, including why truth is more than just someone's opinion; what freedom is and how it differs from license; and the difference between justice and law, love and lust, judgment and prejudice, equality and fairness, happiness and pleasure, and many other key realities of daily life that are often confused with one another.

In less than the time it takes for an argument to start or for someone you love to turn away, you can learn to make yourself clear and keep the peace: just open The One-Minute Philosopher. Within seconds, you'll be able to make better sense of the world and make better decisions in it.

That's why this handbook is perfect for parents, teachers, students, politicians, social activists, and anyone who wants to understand our world better, live a richer life, and lay the foundations for a truly just society.
