Publisher's Summary

Classic ideas and ancient concepts broken down for the modern age. A non-academic approach to better living and greater happiness.

Philosophy doesn’t have to be pointless and boring. If we can cut through the difficult language and roundabout reasoning, we’ll find a treasure trove of knowledge and enlightenment. But don’t worry, this is no textbook.

Feeling lost or looking for more? Why not borrow from thousands of years of answers?

10-Minute Philosophy is your quick introduction to philosophy - six of the most influential philosophies in history, to be exact. You’ll get a taste of the complexities, but walk away with real, practical advice to improve your life. Philosophy doesn’t need to be an ambiguous thought exercise; this book seeks to make it educational and useful. This is a mumbo-jumbo free zone.

We’ll get straight to the point so you can get back to living your life.

Patrick King is an internationally best-selling author and entrepreneur. His writing draws of a variety of sources, from scientific research, academic experience, coaching, and real life experience. 

Understand different philosophies; educate yourself; find a path to what you want:

  • Buddhism’s solution for unhappiness, longing, and desire.
  • Why we should care about Descartes, demons, and dreams.
  • Aristotle’s pursuit of the ancient Greek concept of eudaemonia.
  • How to live in accordance with the Tao and find wu wei.
  • Marcus Aurelius and how to turn the obstacle upside down.
  • The massive cultural influence of Confucianism and what to do about it.
