Wonderful book -- Easy to read. Alternates between about six pages of traveling across Western US with friends (it's like you're with them), then, six pages of thought about values and how 'quality' is divined -- then back to travel. Different ways of looking at the world are introduced -- discussing ideas just enough to want more (the other philosophers on this BoredPanda list are mentioned). Good book to read along with a friend. Note: middle 1/3 is best.

Brilliant! A must read. Example: "good" used to mean "wealthy." Current example "problem" (implying you could use some help) is now a "challenge." You're on your own tootsie.

Oh must be great. Over a million copies sold. Imagine the level of discourse when its that "popular."
