What I liked about this book, is that its a book for everyone, I picked this book up by chance. I had heard of "Bertrand Russell" but had not read any of his writings. Its thought provoking (which it should be), you don't have to agree with it all, but it gives you the perspective/opportunity to think about the topics and statements, and look into yourself.Its very good buy it and pass it on, I think this would be an excellent book high school students, just might make them think a bit more about who they are and the world around them.
