{"product_id":"2940046124927","title":"The Anti-Soapbox: Collected Essays","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe typical soapbox comes with strings attached: an agenda to be pushed, an ego to be stroked, a donation box to be filled. This book, on the other hand, attempts to fulfill the soapbox’s original ideal, as a fount of goodwill and ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAaron 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo step right up, folks! On the anti-soapbox, there’s no shouting, accusation, or ecstatic gestures, just a good old-fashioned reality check.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aaron Garrison","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47083360846064,"sku":"2940046124927","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940046124927_p0.jpg?v=1763999745","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940046124927","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
