panLate for the readalong but figured I‘d finish it, and wish I‘d just chucked it. Repetitive but never particularly clear or convincing, Harris just seems to spitballing about something he kinda believes but can‘t convey. Not a great one, and if he were anybody else I don‘t think this would have gotten published at all.

so-soThis book certainly gives one things to think about and starts conversations; however, it leaves some questions. Perhaps this is meant as a simple introduction - which it did, sort of - but there is definitely more to be covered and answers to be had that are not found in this book.

Did anyone else feel like it ended abruptly? Maybe that‘s a separate question.

so-soWhat can I say? I was & still am, totally confused by this book. If not for a group read #adventuresinphilosophy, this would be a DNR /bail for me. Thank you @GingerAntics for offering stimulating discussion questions which challenged me to think through some of the books ideas.
This ought to be an adventure. I cannot wait to reads these answers.

I think I accidentally read/listened to this week‘s chapter last week, but I need to double check for sure. How is everyone doing so far this week?

On this, the most stressful day (and probably week) of the year, how are you doing? Everyone getting some down time and taking care of themselves?
