Jim's Review

🐛
Russell does something magical here — he takes the deepest questions humans have ever asked and explains them in plain, beautiful English. No jargon, no showing off, just genuine curiosity on every page. It's short enough for one sitting and good enough to read again right away. It's short, it's brilliant, and it'll make you question things you've taken for granted your whole life. Four worms — philosophy made accessible.
