"An Invitation to Thought" is exactly that; an opportunity to view the world from a different perspective, a casual primer to self-awareness. The topics it follows are reason, purpose, and meaning: some of the most fragile and fundamental ideas to human existence, and it does not shy away from exploring their deep implications. It eschews traditional academic constraints in favor of conversational philosophy, a book intended for deep thinkers and thoughtful enthusiasts- with plenty to reflect on. "The book ... offers practical ways to live a more fulfilled, self-aware life." "A rational, thoughtful approach that will appeal to both those interested in philosophy as well as readers looking for a nondogmatic guide to self-improvement." -Kirkus Reviews
