Philosophers Are Self-Help Authors Brings Ancient Ideas Into Focus

The first two reviews of '“Philosophers are Self-Help Authors” by Brent M. Jones. It seems ironic that philosophers, as Chapter 2 suggests, that they feigned ignorance to stimulate others to articulate and defend their ideas. One reason that seems ironic is that they used ignorance to offer help, whereas, in today’s world, it is often used to cause harm.

It's small. But thats not a bad thing. We are seeing this more and more as authors skip the fluff and get straight to the meat.
And Jones does exactly that! This book is packed with interesting points that will bring new ideas to your perspective.
