Knowing nothing of philosophy but interested in how it could be applied to life I bought this book and was very glad I did so and have now bought copies for my friends. I read small bits every few days and although I didn't think at the time it would effect my day to day life I have found myself thinking about things differently - or thinking about some things at all. It doesn't try to change your life but it does try to help you understand what your life is and that was the big impact for me.
I think you should buy this book.
