Includes pieces previously published in The Philosophers' Magazine, Philosophy Now, Herizons, fbomb.org, Humanist in Canada, and Victoria Times Colonist, as well as a great many previously unpublished pieces.

User reviews
I received this ebook free through LibraryThing member giveaway in return for my honest review.
When I began reading this book I got into it but as it went on I started to think about what kind of life is this person living, does she pick apart every aspect of
I am a women and although some of the things in the book are very relevant and unfair to our gender I choose to live my life how it makes me the happiest. I do not dwell on looking for the negative in others and to me it felt kind of like the author was doing that. I found myself sympothizing with this person and wondering who or what made her to be such an angry person.
I think the book is well written, just too much negativity in one place for me. I like to see the positives as opposed to the wrongs in a situation.
