About this listen

Explore life through the lens of the world's most fascinating philosophical thinkers with this accessible book.

If you sometimes ask yourself "Why am I here?" or "Is there always a clear right and wrong?", you're drawn to the big questions of life, which is what philosophy is all about! Its goal is to explore life's mysteries, to see if universal truths are discoverable through logical reasoning.

The nature of these philosophical issues, which span a variety of subjects including life after death, existence, religion, ethics, morality, happiness, and more, have eluded philosophers for millennia.

Below are just some of the areas this book delves deeply into:

  • Thought-provoking questions about morality, free will, and happiness
  • Defining and determining the purpose of life, death, and self
  • The paradox of connecting mind and body
  • Proving the existence of a higher power (?)

Questions make life more interesting and colorful. Without them, we'd be stuck in a perpetual void of idleness.

These philosophical questions can enlighten your mind, ignite your drive for life, and induce critical and deep thinking...or they can also be fun conversation starters over coffee.... You choose!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

For those seeking depth

I remember when I was young and I would have these profound insights or any insights for matter, I uncovered something that no had or knew. Since no one was talking about these insights or the few people I shared them with thought it was profound, I was convinced I stumbled across unique secrets. And I allowed them to dictate my decisions and actions.

The fact of the matter was humanity has been on this planet far longer than I and has been contemplating deeper thoughts and questions for thousands of years. So they have contemplated and come to understand far more, and that knowledge has been far deeper and useful than what I could come to understand on my own. Therefore it’s important to understand the philosophical questions that have come before us and this book does an excellent job of bringing them to light.

As this book’s description says “These philosophical questions can enlighten your mind, ignite your drive for life, and induce critical and deep thinking”

Great For Broadening Your Horizons

This audiobook is great for broadening your horizons. The author makes listeners reflect on their role in the world and consider alternative viewpoints. I really appreciate the fact that everything is explained in simple English rather than being spoken at a level above my comprehension is the best aspect of this audiobook. This enables even the most difficult philosophical ideas to be understood by listeners of any age. The flow of the audiobook is quite smooth, and the narrator does an excellent job whose voice is crystal clear and captivating. Overall, "Provocative Philosophical Questions That Inspire Deep Thinking and Deeper Living" by Atlas Britton is something you should look into. I definitely recommend it!

Great book

This is definitely a new subject to me
When It comes to listening to books. But I really enjoyed it. It’s good to have that space where you can sit and wonder about different things in life. It’s good for the soul.
The author does a great job of posing the right questions but also goes into detail on why asking these questions is so beneficial in life

Prepare to Think!

I have wanted to explore Philosophy for many years and this audio was a great introduction into the subject and it’s various branches. From this foundation you can delve deeper into areas which may have particularly interested you. For me this is post-humanism and the conundrum posed by The Ship of Theseus

A must if you love active reading

I absolutely loved this audiobook for several reasons. Usually, I'm not a big philosophy fan, but growing up, I would always ask my mom questions about life and why things happen. This book raises the same questions I had as a kid. Still, I continue to wonder about some topics: this audiobook makes the listener question life, identity, and more. I found this book very interesting and innovative; it stands out from other audiobooks' capacity to make you reflect on topics. You will love this active listening, I would recommend it to anyone.

Way better than my college Philosophy course

As someone who has always struggled with the field of philosophy ever since I took a philosophy course in college, this book made things clear and easy to understand. Atlas Britton did an amazing job of presenting complex topics in a way that was approachable and understandable.

What really stood out to me about this book was how thought-provoking it was. The big questions posed within its pages really got me thinking, and I found myself contemplating them long after I finished listening. I often judge how good a book is based on whether I think about it outside of reading it, and this book definitely did that for me. While I was out walking my dogs last night, I found myself just randomly pondering these deep philosophical questions.

One of the things I appreciated most about this audiobook was how well it was narrated. The narrator did a great job of bringing the material to life and making it easy to listen to. I also appreciated the specific examples and thought experiments included in the book. They helped me understand the concepts better and gave me a framework for further contemplation.

Overall, I highly recommend "Provocative Philosophical Questions That Inspire Deep Thinking and Deeper Living" to anyone interested in philosophy or looking to deepen their understanding of life's big questions. I am sure I will be returning to this book time and time again to dive back into the specifics of the different thought experiments presented.

The audiobook's flow is seamless, with the narrator sweeping the listener away into the world of each question and guiding them through deep thinking and reflection. I definitely recommend it!

I think therefore I am

Provacative Philosophical Questions that Inspire Deep Thinking and Deeper Living by Atlas Britton was a great listen.

The subject matter is thought provoking which is what I was looking for but the best part of the audio book is that it explains everything in plain english instead of talking above my head.

This book certainly opened my mind and helped me look deeper into the connection of my mind and body. As i am aging i felt like my mindset might be causing my negative symptoms in my body (pain, slowing down etc). This book helped me realize i was correct and could change that course by having a more positive mind-set. That alone made this book a great listen.

However, additionally the book helped open my mind to ideas on morality and other things in today's modern world.

I highly recommend this book

I’m a fan!

I love thought provoking subjects, especially philosophy. This book nailed it. So fun and interactive. I’ll have a good time bringing some of these questions to my friends. The book also had a lot of strategical questions. Great job by the author.

Genuinely thought provoking!

This was an awesome Audiobook for anyone looking to explore the meaning of the universe, their lives, and the purpose of existence. The prompts are unique, thought provoking, and powerful. The author has a clear understanding of general philosophical principals and introductory concepts in philosophy to break them down well, and for people who are newer to the subject matter. Definitely planning on returning to more than once!
