The typical soapbox comes with strings attached: an agenda to be pushed, an ego to be stroked, a donation box to be filled. This book, on the other hand, attempts to fulfill the soapbox�s original ideal, as a fount of goodwill and ideas.
Aaron Garrison, author of Learn Yourself: A Manual for the Mind and Synchronicity: One Man�s Experience, has taken the soapbox, and the speech has begun. In these collected essays, Garrison explores the ideological, the sociological, and the philosophical, with a healthy spoonful of psychology for good measure. Written from the laymen�s no-nonsense perspective, The Anti-Soapbox takes a practical, real-world approach to some big issues, yet does so with a gentle touch, refraining from the bruising tone characteristic of soapbox oratory.
So step right up, folks! On the anti-soapbox, there�s no shouting, accusation, or ecstatic gestures, just a good old-fashioned reality check.
