The Little Book of Humanism

Universal Lessons on Finding Purpose, Meaning and Joy

Andrew Copson and Alice Roberts

Having read it

★★★★☆

Great little book with plenty of worthwhile quotes and perspectives from other humanists that support its message. As it mentions as well, curiosity is a skill worth having and nurturing and dipping in to this book every now and then will be a good reminder and support to a lifetime of humanist learning.

A second good passage

One of the best ways to develop empathy is to read stories. Whether historical or fictional, stories about particular individuals enable us to experience different lives.

A third good passage

Death is natural. Without it there would be no life.
