You say you want a perfect book for your coffee table?
The only one you need is here.
It’s like the rest of the Coffee Table Philosophy series, only instead of ice-breaking, improve your love life-type questions, it’s full of deadly serious inquiries. Think Socrates meets Stephen Hawking, Plato meets Carl Sagan, and that’s kinda what this book is like. It’s for science buffs, astronomy lovers, old world philosophy fans, and serious truth seekers.
Introducing:
101 pages. 101 awesome questions.
Here’s seven little samples to get you started.
And here’s a perfect selection of DIY coffee tables on which to kick back and read.

You’ll have a huge house full of beautiful things.
Your children will be smart and loving.
On the surface, your marriage will appear ideal.

Knowing what you know, are you still walking down the aisle tomorrow?

You lucky bastard.
Or maybe not.
You’ve just acquired a new ability.
From now on, you can wish anyone in the world dead.
If you use this power, not only will the person die instantly and painlessly, but you’ll also gain a million dollars for each person you use it on.
How many times (if any) do you think you’ll use this power?
On whom?
What would you do with all that money?

Some people have theories about how the world began.
And how it will end.
And maybe even theories about what it all means.
But…
What if you— yes you—could decide how it all began, what it all means, and how you’d like it to end?
Play god for a moment:
How would you like for the universe to have begun?
How do you want it to end?
What do you want it all to mean?
*
