"""The best triggers for would-be sages."" - LA Weekly

Do you want to be Book Smart & Street Smart? Here's the Counterculture Blueprint.

The most comprehensive, light introduction to philosophy of the last 30 years, Philosophy Trips is a welcoming path to understanding philosophical enquiry and why it matters.

Tackling all the big issues in a digestible format, former ingenu Vincent Bozzino makes challenging, multi-disciplinary topics ""rock 'n roll"" with an emboldening and academically practical, 12-stop critical training for the curious minds.

Every ""journey"" gently eases newbies into the world of philosophical analysis, as an adventure of the mind against the ideological bandwagon, a rollercoaster ride that eventually engages the heart.

This is a self-discovering guide about the uncomfortable questions that arise at the dinner table, on social media or in deep, late-night talks: politics, money, God, lies, injustice, beauty, scientific truth and the like.

After the whirlwind tour, you will

▶︎ read through the world with sophistication and wisdom, like the Great Thinkers

▶︎ go deeper than appearances and change the perception of what it means to be a powerful human

▶︎ step your game up for success and become an agent in your life rather than being carried along by forces that buffet us

▶︎ master uncertainty to explore the unknown and thrive, with passion for finding beauty in hard times

You will learn how to think outside the box with strong problem-solving, unclich�d knowledge and attention to details, to take your time with wild clarity - and like every travel - Philosophy Trips will leave you confidence, independence and freedom."

Reviews for Philosophy Trips: A Naive's Guide

"""The best triggers for would-be sages"" - LA Weekly ""Sharp, profuse and mind-boggling philosophical jab: a tall order but effortlessly administered."" - Philosophy Daily ""A sleek holiday to discover humanities in the history with a critical eye. Bozzino not only makes philosophy trendy and in tune with public skepticism, but also nurtures responsibility to delve deeper, untangle, take a stand and solve what he points out, by skilfully employing argument tight turns, storyline steep slopes and mesmerising register inversions."" - The Washington Mail ""Bozzino's unique storytelling style smoothly transports philistines into a realm of deep introspection and contemplation, providing a fresh outlook on timeless philosophical questions that have long fascinated humanity."" - Australian Times ""Philosophy Trips is destined to become a cult classic, captivating world naives with its soulful oratory and enlightened perspectives. It is a tour de force that showcases the immense talent and breadth of knowledge possessed by this young Renaissance man."" - Les Temps Modernes ""The book is very agile, on a crowd-awakening mission with enormous scope. The result is therefore a bird's eye view that addresses almost all disciplines in a discretionary way, without too much indulgence, as a pop philosophy compendium would. Still, Bozzino keeps it brutally thorough for the benefit of first-time speculators, each chapter is stuffed full of philosophical references and food for thought - for your emancipation."" - Book Life ""The most encyclopaedic & easygoing guide, giving philosophy new blood and saving us weeks in the library or years in the cerebral abyss."" - Susan Orlean, Bestseller Author of 1000 steps to Wisdom and Let the Grown-ups Play ""Gifted storyteller, at his trade debut, feeds the curious with high-intensity, critical workout and strokes of imagination."" - The Telegraph India"
