(2nd edn) covers an amazingly wide range of topics that really made me think and reconsider my life, my choices, and our business-as-usual world. So much of what we are bombarded with on social media and mass media, so-called "op-eds," are just a lot of noise; this author provides something very different. These are thought pieces, succinctly and logically presented for one's consideration. I came away feeling like I'd had a meaningful interaction and I really enjoyed and appreciated it." Karen Siddall, Amazon 4/5 "Tittle's pieces are atypical of philosophical writing in the best ways: of interest to non-specialists, yet instructive and profound, yet entertaining." Ron Cooper, Professor of Philosophy "... a passionate, stylistically-engaging writer ..." George, Amazon
