Fast Philosophy: Whizz to wisdom in 100 hilarious, short mental workouts perfect for commutes, bathroom breaks, and lazy afternoons on the couch

Who knew enlightenment could be this entertaining?

In 100 hilarious, compact sessions, Fast Philosophy takes the greatest ideas of the past two thousand years and applies them to the biggest questions of today:

Why are we here? (and why isn’t there more cake?)
What does it mean to be good? (and how can we get away with being bad?)
What is beauty? (and how can we convince it to take its clothes off?)

Using simple language, jokes, and fifty beautiful illustrations, you’ll race a roller-coaster through history into the present, accompanied by humanity’s greatest thinkers.

Discover how a stoic would pick someone up at a party (and not care if they failed), what Marvel superhero Nietzsche would be, why Heidegger wanted you to spend more time in graveyards, why Socrates would have been a bad agony aunt, and whether your Facebook friends are real friends?

Covering every major school of thought, and packed full of original answers to life’s biggest questions, Fast Philosophy is ridiculously entertaining, outrageously funny, and powerfully informative.

Philosophy as you always hoped it would be taught...
