About this product

Product Information

What is the actual, real-life value of education? In this pointedly observant examination of daily life, David Foster Wallace seeks an answer to this deceptively simple question. In doing so, he notes that, 'the most obvious, ubiquitous, important realities are often the ones that are the hardest to see and talk about.' In other words, to really understand the world, we have to get out of our own thoughts and learn to see what's right in front of us. With this, he touches on the most basic, most important decision we all make every day - how to think about our world.Writing with his one-of-a-kind blend of casual humor, exacting intellect, and practical philosophy, David Wallace probes the challenges of daily living and offers advice that renews us with every reading.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

    Good book with thought-provoking content

    This is perfect for my friend's daughter who just graduated from college. It gives a new perspective on how to think.

    Small pleasure, kind of...

    I suppose this becomes an essential element in the Wallace library, but it seems contrived as a hardbound publication vs a small pamphlet. Oh well, my sister and nephew were at the Kenyan College address that comprises this book, so perhaps they can be gifted...

    This should be required reading for everyone.

    I bought this book because I had read the speech before and it's one of the most inspirational speeches I've ever heard. I was wondering how they managed to make his speech into 137 pages of text, and how they did really adds to the experience of reading it. Great read. Should be required reading for everyone.
