I came across this book by accident, and I have to say that it is one of the best books I have ever had the pleasure to read. It focuses in on a number of big questions that I am sure we all ask ourselves and uses examples of how philosophy can be applied to answer them. The author also gives lots of real world situations to further explain the principles.
This book may change your life...or at least your way of thinking!

I really wanted to like this book since it is well presented and in some sense also well written, the idea of philosophical therapy is not a new idea, there are existential and philsophical practitioners who dont belong to the school of thought mentioned in this book and its appendix, like Rollo May and Eric Fromm, and these authors dont neglect to mention philosophical schools of thought such as sociologists like Karl Marx, I'm not sure how this author could afford to do so but none the less does.
If you're a fan of Ayn Rand and Rand's philosophy and the philsophers who most closely correlate with this philosophy this is the book for you, otherwise I would consider the alternatives.

Good in explaining philosophy, its history and application to the essential issues of life. Teaches thinking about thinking, bringing out what it is to be truly human. One serious flaw - abysmal knowledge about Christianity which above all, celebrates man in the image of God. The Gospel is inconceiveable to secular thinkers,and so is not set out. With their devotion to truth it is a denial of their own position.
