Summary

Finally, a philosophy book that's as depressing as existence itself—but way funnier!Ever wondered what would happen if someone explained existentialism without the pretentious jargon, cigarette smoke, and unbearable French ennui? Wonder no more! "EXISTENCE IS POINTLESS (AND SO IS THIS BOOK)" delivers all the existential dread with none of the academic torture.In this irreverent guide to philosophy's most depressing movement, you'll discover:
 
Why Kierkegaard invented existential anxiety while living off his rich daddy's money
 
How Nietzsche's magnificent mustache compensated for his terrible social skills
 
What Sartre lacked in eyebrows he made up for in ego
 
Why Camus was suspiciously handsome for someone so committed to the absurd
 
How Simone de Beauvoir did all the emotional labor while the men got all the credit
 
Why Heidegger couldn't write a clear sentence to save his life (or his Nazi-sympathizing reputation)
 
How to sound deep at parties without everyone secretly hating you
 
Whether you're a philosophy student looking for clarity, a curious reader wondering what all the existential fuss is about, or just someone who enjoys laughing at the cosmic joke of human existence, this book delivers philosophical insights with a side of merciless mockery.Perfect for anyone who's ever had an existential crisis in the cereal aisle, wondered why life feels meaningless despite your expensive education, or just needed a good laugh at the expense of history's most miserable thinkers.Warning: May cause uncontrollable laughter, sudden clarity, and the irresistible urge to wear black turtlenecks while staring meaningfully into the distance.

It is an historical novel and the events portrayed were not unusual in the life of a warrior of those times.

Geoffrey Cotterell , Tanzanian Affairs Waters of the Sanjan is an accurate and admirable historic record of my people, recording their way of life at another point in time, yet not so very long ago. And because not many truly authentic books have been written about us, it is, I think, a valuable record of a proud people that will enlighten the reader and allow him to glimpse another world.

    Written during the profound global upheaval between 2019 and 2023, In Water Not Blood braids ancient traditions of nature-based spirituality, dreaming, song and prayer with the realities and anxieties of modern life. These poems are as much soft and spiritual as they are rage-filled and disillusioned.  A powerful account of the author's journey to reclaim her connection to her ancestors and to the Earth. In Water Not Blood is a celebration of the healing power of nature and art and is an urgent cry for collective transformation.
