Review
"The interviews are fun, informative, and easy to read. More importantly, they prove that philosophical questions that may sometimes seem to abstract and distant from everyday life to matter can have a large impact on how one chooses to live one's live....the end result is a voume that is both relaxing and stimulating."-Philosophy in Review, Dec 2003
