About this audiobook
With razor-sharp wit, this collection dissects the paradoxes of modern life and the follies of the intelligentsia. Seemingly mundane topics are turned inside out to reveal profound spiritual and social truths. The defense of the common man rings loud against the arrogance of experts and fads. A thought-provoking barrage of essays that challenges the reader to see the world with fresh eyes.
