The Little Book of Bathroom Philosophy: Daily Wisdom from the World's Greatest Thinkers

Witty, wise, and eminently useful, The Little Book of Bathroom Philosophy gives the lowdown on the world's most famous philosophers, complete with brief biographies, highlights of their major teachings, and lots of quotations that are perfect for sprinkling into toasts and speeches or casually introducing into dinner-party conversation.
• Which philosopher had such an unhappy marriage that he once said: By all means marry. If you get a good wife, you’ll be happy. If you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher...
• Which philosopher actually pondered the nature of his own appearance, stating that: I’m not ugly, but my beauty is a total creation.
Join Gregory Bergman on a humorous and easy-to-follow journey through the history of philosophy from Socrates: And in knowing that you know nothing, that makes you the smartest of all; to Sartre: Only the guy who isn’t rowing has time to rock the boat. Along the way you’ll hear from Kant: Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life; Dewey: No man’s credit is as good as his money, and twenty-four other great thinkers.
