Philosophy for Polar Explorers: What They Don't Teach You In School 1 review Erling Kagge
Pushkin Press, 2006
Caveat lector
This book is terrible. Poorly written, poorly conceived. Please don't waste your money or your time.
Zero stars.
I trusted the publishers--who seem in general to have very good taste. I highly recommend all of Antal Szerb's books.

Great point and nice reading
The idea of the 20/80 is one of the biggest ideas of all times.
