Synopsis
SMART THINKING/POPULAR PHILOSOPHYIs your life as good as it could be, could it be better, could it be a lot better? For all of us; our aggregate life experience, or that yet to come, can seem at best suboptimal, for most somewhat disappointing and for some an absolute hell within which our traditional experts often fail us. But what if we were to attack this experience through completely new perspectives of practical and rational philosophy one that looks far wider and that engages comprehensible and relevant allusion from so many other subjects from art to even physics. Our lifespan is insufficient for us to acquire an effective competence to deal with all of the issues that we will face concerning: despair and the pursuit of well-being, the understanding of relationships, loneliness, education, the world of work, inequality, economics, politics, truth, conflict, crime & justice, common psychiatric disorders, our existence, the significance of purpose and the pursuit of happiness? If we gain this competence we could enhance and even transform our life experience in everything. This book deals a killer blow to these issues expanding upon what we already know but also venturing into that which is unknown, radical and revolutionary about how we think and how we need to think.The author graduated in nuclear engineering from the University of London in 1981 and has since worked in electronics research & development in medical instrumentation, power generation and the oil & gas industry often having to investigate what could go wrong and why, something that demands highly detailed critical thinking. He has an incurable addiction to the study of history, psychology, literature, biology, religion, philosophy, culture, politics and law. As an engineer he has a predilection to observe, deconstruct and to analyse everything and to then seek the most optimal solution that can be equally applied to life, and in its understanding, as it can to solving complex engineering problems. Mankind is not so different from machines they both follow the rules of nature, though the machine functions according to the truth the human not necessarily so.
