Used, great condition.

From Amazon: "This little book to help you resolve many of the big problems that life poses. In this handy guide, you’ll come to understand and learn how to explain — in less than a minute each! — such fundamental notions as why truth is more than just someone’s opinion; what freedom is and how it differs from license; the difference between justice and law, judgment and prejudice, equality and fairness, happiness and pleasure . . . and over 160 other truths that most of us find hard to grasp and even harder to explain. Confronting the dilemmas of teenage rebellion? Can’t figure out whether what you’re feeling is love or lust? Having trouble explaining where virtue ends and hypocrisy begins? Or whether punishment is only revenge by another name? The clear, bite-size explanations found here will solve those problems for you, and many more. In less then the time it takes for an argument to start or for someone you love to turn away, you can learn to make yourself clear and keep the peace: all you have to do is open The One-Minute Philosopher. Within seconds, your understanding will be greater, your mind sharper, and your explanations clearer. With help from The One-Minute Philosopher, you’ll soon be able to make better sense of the world and make better decisions in it. That’s why this handbook is perfect for parents, teachers, students, politicians, social activists, and anyone who wants to understand our world better, live a richer life, and lay the foundations for a truly just society."
