This is the second of three volumes of posthumously collected writings of G. A. Cohen, who was one of the leading, and most progressive, figures in contemporary political philosophy. This volume brings together some of Cohen's most personal philosophical and nonphilosophical essays, many of them previously unpublished. Rich in first-person narration, insight, and humor, these pieces vividly demonstrate why Thomas Nagel described Cohen as a "wonderful raconteur".

Diets do not work in the long-term. They tell you what to eat and when to eat it and, most of all they tell you what you can't have - and that's no fun at all. So it's important that first of all you understand the Sort Your Life Out approach. The key to a permanently slimmer and fitter body is learning how to manage your emotions. Most people are out of balance with their diet: they switch between extremes of denial and indulgence.

For Stanley Cohen, baseball is the prism through which he views the events of the last 70 years. In The Man in the Crowd, Cohen chronicles America’s changing mood and lifestyle from the years of World War II through the silent generation of the 50s, the revolutionary turmoil of the 60s through the social decay of the 70s, the excess of the 80s through the technological transformation of the 90s, up through the sobering uncertainty of the post-9/11 present day.

Most of us heard that it's what we eat that makes the difference to our body shape and our weight. In reality it has as much to do with what exercise we do, or don't do. The majority of us spend most of our days sitting down - in front of a computer, in a car or in front of the TV. We all know that exercise is essential for being healthy and losing weight but not everyone wants to go to the gym, has lots of time to exercise or knows what they should be doing to keep fit.

Imagine stepping out of your front door and not having a clue of where you wanted to go: you'd probably just stand there not knowing which way to turn or you'd wander aimlessly round in circles. This seems like a mad thing to do, yet so many of us amble through life in this way without any kind of direction or purpose.
