Description
As for the author, being cooped up in that world; he’s out of touch with reality and therefore, affected by his optimism bias. Contrary to his subjective standpoint, the middle ground is where a sound argument should, for the most part, develop. The more open-minded, creative and courageous a group is, the wider the pool of ideas they'll be capable of exploring. Admitting you need help and asking for it often requires more courage than trying to do it on your own. I read this initially to see if content is appropriate, although I also found reading the book to be better way to discuss these ideas - It doesn't get the same eye rolls from my kid when I try to "have a talk" about feelings or behavior directly :) I also learnt a few more things about these often-ignored important topics and some philosophers. Berkun tells it like it is… you’ll gain insights to take your skills to the next level.” — Tony Hsieh, CEO Zappos.com
An Introduction to Philosophy for Children - The School Of Life
The book functions as an ideal introduction to philosophy, as well as a charming way to open up conversations between adults and children about the biggest questions we all face.Some call this wisdom, in that the wise know what to be thinking about, whereas the merely intelligent only know how to think. The focus of these chapters are incredibly meaningful, some of my favourites include 'People are unhappy, not mean', 'Learn to say what s on your mind', 'Good things are (unexpectedly) hard' and 'Politeness matters'. The book has been written by the fantastic School of Life and it is suggested for curious minds aged 9+. I think most adults would also find these ideas incredibly helpful to reflect on; who doesn't need reminding that when someone is angry, maybe it's not you who is responsible?" Louise Treherne, Role Models

Logic and objectivity run through each of the essays, but those three really stood out in terms of personal value. Some of the essays, though good, didn't really hit close to home for me because they were about worlds that I don't really live in. I guess they are applicable to education, but not as much is they would be applicable in the business world. Design does indeed make the world, and Scott Berkun has written a highly readable book about this fact.” – Henry Petroski, author of Small Things Considered: Why There Is No Perfect Design The book also looks to the future and asks the reader to imagine a world they would like to live in. What might they learn from self-knowledge? How can they grow, develop and create their own place in history? It is a thoughtful and inspiring introduction to the world around us, which encourages the child to engage with themselves and others through history. to call someone an artist means that they have a sense of higher purpose beyond commerce. Not that they don’t profit from their work, or promote themselves, but that the work itself has spiritual, philosophical, emotional or experiential attributes as central goals.” If you are someone who is always curious about life, about how things happen or you just simply want to explain what’s going on inside you and how to deal with those feelings wisely, this book might have something for you.Es una colección de ensayos que eran entradas de blog, y se nota. Las ideas están bien presentadas y explicadas, pero no son la clase de idea revolucionaria que te cambia la vida. somewhere in the wash of interactions and split attentions is the missed possibility we’re looking for: meaning. Depth of experience. Connection.”

The book reads like the personal journal of someone who doesn't stop talking, never listens, is too enamored with their own thoughts and with too much time on their hands. I admit I only could get through half the book, and I'm assuming that he doesn't suddenly begin to treat the reader as intelligent towards the books end. If all you know is judgement, that's all you'll express even when you're trying to love, and on it goes. Here, the theoretical is mixed with the everyday, as when the book explains wise and unwise responses in terms of the challenge of a friend not being nice. Such clarity makes applying the book’s conclusions a natural next step. There are spaces for responses and self-reflection throughout, with activities like listing things you’d like to learn more about, comparing examples of nagging versus teaching, and thinking of creative solutions for broken objects. From ethics and logic to the meaning of life, this book encourages young minds to think critically and ponder life's big questions.What’s unusual about this book is the incredible directness of the author’s ideas… Scott Berkun in this book manages the art of speaking directly into my brain.” — James Fructerman Everything we use, from our homes to our smartphones, from highways to hammers, was designed by someone. How did they decide what was good for the rest of us? What did they get right and where have they let us down? And what can we learn from the way these experts think that can help us make decisions in our own lives?

Beautiful illustrations by Anna Doherty depict two characters traversing the history of the world, bringing it vibrantly to life. An eye-catching title together with a misleading blurb is, more often than not, a surefire recipe to draw the readers in; however, it’s the walkthrough that decides which book enjoys fame and success and which drives off the cliff. In this case, the “Mindfire” is a bold claim, hollow inside and unable to live up to the expectations it creates. He won me over with the first essay, "The Cult of Busy." It's like this man is in my head! Busy people like to say and believe that they must be more important because they are so busy, but sometimes it actually means they are not very efficient. I see this all the time in the education field! We've got these martyr teachers who stay at work until seven every evening and work on stuff all weekend and all break and all summer and never have enough time and are sooooo busy. I leave every day at 4:00 because I either A.) use my time wisely while I'm at school or B.) determine that some tasks are not important enough to spend my time on. Less busy people are not necessarily doing less and we certainly are not less important. I wish I had a copy of "The Cult of Busy" to hand to every person who ever snidely told me, "I wish I could leave every day at 4:00. Must be nice."You'd have to risk all you care about to explore a new belief, which is scary. It's safer to avoid questions, or to pretend and keep your beliefs to yourself.
