The short philosophic dialogues in this book were written both for the reader and for the author. Kept short so that busy people can ponder and enjoy a thoughtful morsel in the brief pockets of time they may have available, the dialogues explore many themes and many facets of human action and interaction.aLike Nick's previous two books, theastyle here is that of a Platonic dialogue; thealanguage is concise, pointed, and fun."
