Short but concise. I'm reaching the halfway point and so far I find it inspiring and well defining.

Sproid started reading Little Book of Humanism by Alice Roberts
Short but concise. I'm reaching the halfway point and so far I find it inspiring and well defining.
Finished it because I wanted to know the content as I find it useful but the book is kinda slow pace for my taste. I feel like the point on each chapter get somewhat diluted in the narrative. Otherwise great overall message and brings awareness of the small rituals that everybody do, or can do living a secular life. Life is full of meaning.

Recently, my child started asking the existential questions and I knew I needed to get my hands on this book. This book helps reorganize my answers and give more or better examples. I also notice is an easy reading probably with pre-teens reading comprehension in mind.

"Independence days are not biological like birth or death. They are not astronomical like the solstices and the equinoxes. But they spring from the same human impulses that fuel scientific discovery. Political revolutions and scientific breakthroughs require the same unwillingness to accept authority on blind faith. They are born out of the same question: Why are things as they are? They celebrate our ability to evolve in the figurative sense." --Sasha Sagan

I first started the Graphic Audio version but the music and sounds were too loud drowning the voice. Switched to the none GA version that is much better. The story is good but is a bit lacking in word building. Already started the second book.

An interesting read about life's persectives on morality, deconstructing, and the goodness that can replace it.
I'm not good at reviews so I will just say that most of the book is really good with some parts that feel a little disjointed. The last chapter feels weak in comparison to the rest of the book but it doesn't matter much since the totality was bountiful.
