To put it simply: it is the mind or the intellect in philosophy; or better yet it is what the British refer to informally as practical intelligence or in other words, common sense.

This extremely short book contains 153 maxims which we are invited to read and then contemplate the meanings of in our minds. Most of the items can be quite thought provoking to say the least.

However with a price of $5.92 paperback/$3.99 KINDLE [US] and £4.99 paperback [UK] I feel this book is relatively overpriced, but luckily if you’ve got KINDLE Unlimited you can read this book for FREE. Which is why I’m giving this book 3 STARS for the author’s efforts in putting this book together.
