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.
