Not for School, but for Life

This new "guide for the perplexed" not only offers a good introduction to succeeding at your study of philosophy, but to succeeding at college. I like that Arthur puts his message in this larger context, and that his advice is applicable, in most places, across the curriculum. (I myself use the book for my philosophy courses!) I agree with Arthur's view that what happens outside the classroom is often much more important in terms of college/educational success than what goes on in the class. The book is well written, not technical, and Arthur's style is interspersed with personal anecdotal comments that add to the delight of reading this book!
