Publisher's Synopsis
"The best triggers for would-be sages." - LA Weekly
Do you want to be Book Smart & Street Smart? Here's the Counterculture Blueprint.
The most comprehensive, light introduction to philosophy of the last 30 years, Philosophy Trips is a welcoming path to understanding philosophical enquiry and why it matters.
Tackling all the big issues in a digestible format, former ingenu Vincent Bozzino makes challenging, multi-disciplinary topics "rock 'n roll" with an emboldening and academically practical, 12-stop critical training for the curious minds.
Every "journey" gently eases newbies into the world of philosophical analysis, as an adventure of the mind against the ideological bandwagon, a rollercoaster ride that eventually engages the heart.
This is a self-discovering guide about the uncomfortable questions that arise at the dinner table, on social media or in deep, late-night talks: politics, money, God, lies, injustice, beauty, scientific truth and the like.
After the whirlwind tour, you will
▶︎ read through the world with sophistication and wisdom, like the Great Thinkers
▶︎ go deeper than appearances and change the perception of what it means to be a powerful human
▶︎ step your game up for success and become an agent in your life rather than being carried along by forces that buffet us
▶︎ master uncertainty to explore the unknown and thrive, with passion for finding beauty in hard times
You will learn how to think outside the box with strong problem-solving, unclichéd knowledge and attention to details, to take your time with wild clarity - and like every travel - Philosophy Trips will leave you confidence, independence and freedom.
