USA Today calls Menlo resident philosopher Jack Bowen's latest book "witty," while Scientific American columnist Michael Shermer refers to it as "insightful and hilarious." After his first book hit the San Francisco Chronicle bestseller list, in Bowen's third book he gets a bit more playful, though still remaining true to his philosophical roots. As New York Times Magazine says of the book, "It takes bumper stickers seriously." So if you're interested in discussing topics from love (and sex) to the meaning of life, to how Leibniz informs the bumper sticker "Size Does Matter" or how to factor happiness into the GDP, join us for a discussion of "If You Can Read This." To spice things up, Jack will mix some of his favorite elixirs, conjured up after years of mixing with some of the best. Jack has been on numerous book tours and most of his favorite events are at homes with readers discussing life's biggest issues. Join us for what should prove to be a mind-opening, inspiring, and fun-filled evening.
