Greatest book ...EVER

What can I say? This is one of the greatest books of any genre that I've read. Peter Steeves is a brilliant writer as well as thinker, and this book exemplifies those qualities. Unlike many philosophers, he writes clearly and elegantly, and discusses phenomenology in a way that anyone can understand by using personal examples. Steeves realizes that the most important thing is to apply philosophy to everyday life, and one wishes more academics would take this to heart. Overall, an excellent book that is thoughtful and engagingly written. "Lost Dog" the "Mars" were my favorites. A must-read!!
