"The title says it all... My parents were practicing Tibetan Buddhism for a time when I was growing up. When my (step) dad died my mother gave this book to me—it’s like a little key to the universe that unlocks many of life's question's without ever being bombastic. When my mother died nine years ago this gift from her was priceless in guiding me through my devastation. But it’s not just a bandaid for emotional cuts. It’s a book for life.

Basically, a (very quick) overview of various branches of Philosophy, lightly touching on - amongst others - some of the following schools of thought:

What is Philosophy, and why we should care?
Aristotle
Buddhism
Confucius
Descartes (Cogito, Ergo Sum)
Stoicism
Taoism

And I've probably missed a few.

While it does it's job in admirably presenting these schools of thoughts and their various proponents, this was (perhaps necessarily) too shallow a read/listen for me. I'm fully aware, however, that that is because I have a scholastic background in studying the same!

Taking my own prejudices out of the equation: a worth-while attempt to bring the subject matter to the masses.
