Reviewed by Bill

Bill is one of the founders of Boffins and has been involved in selecting the books we stock since our beginning in 1989. His favourite reading is history, with psychology, current affairs, and business books coming close behind. His hobbies are reading, food, reading, drinking, reading, and sleeping.

This is an irreverent crash course through the great thinkers of the world. It even has a section on new agers – and the authors illuminate the dimness of new age thought with this joke:

How many new agers does it take to change a light bulb?

None, they just start a “Coping with Darkness” support group

It’s like this all the way through, but of course they deal mostly with weighty ideas – just in a fun and informal way that has you both thinking and laughing.
