I first came across John Gray via the excellent podcast that come from the Australian ABC. One of the podcasts I listen to features big ideas. An address that author and philosopher, John Gray, gave to the Sydney writers festival was a feature.

This guy is one of the most lucid thinkers in the world today. He fires broadsides at every belief that is not logical....

So I bought his latest book. And it is sensational. Here is what the London Times has to say about him and it:

He is so out of the box that it is easy to forget there was ever any box. He is also impossible to categorise. He can’t be seen as an orthodox political thinker because his perspective is far too broad. And he can’t be seen as a philosopher because he is too impatient with the “arguments about arguments” in which philosophers tend to indulge. He says philosophy is just a way of finding good reasons for holding utterly ordinary opinions.


Buy it at your peril. It may ensure that you change the way you think!
