Publisher's summary

Classic ideas and ancient concepts broken down for the modern age. A non-academic approach to better living and greater happiness.

Philosophy doesn’t have to be pointless and boring. If we can cut through the difficult language and roundabout reasoning, we’ll find a treasure trove of knowledge and enlightenment. But don’t worry, this is no textbook.

Feeling lost or looking for more? Why not borrow from thousands of years of answers?

10-Minute Philosophy is your quick introduction to philosophy - six of the most influential philosophies in history, to be exact. You’ll get a taste of the complexities, but walk away with real, practical advice to improve your life. Philosophy doesn’t need to be an ambiguous thought exercise; this book seeks to make it educational and useful. This is a mumbo-jumbo free zone.

We’ll get straight to the point so you can get back to living your life.

Intro to Philosophy 101

I was provided this audiobook for free for an honest and impartial review:

The audiobook gives a brief look into different philosophies that are prevalent in today’s society. This is a lot of information packed into this listen. There are a ton of useful nuggets waiting to be discovered

Just the facts

Just as the title says this is a VERY brief look into a few of the major philosophies throughout history. It is the CliffNotes version of Philosophy 101. But I liked it. It reminded me of several of the important themes and ideas from each of the different philosophies. Each was just in-depth enough to provide some understanding and trigger a desire to research more.
