{"product_id":"9781626257450","title":"Letters to My Grandson: Why the Unexamined Life is not Worth Living","description":"\u003cp\u003eA charming, wise and idiosyncratic series of twelve letters which give advice to the author's grandson on what it means to become a man. The letters cover fundamental, sensitive and profound matters such as the body and the physical world; smoking, alcohol and drugs; healing the body; character; culture; the role in society; the nature of men and women; relationships; sex; family and fatherhood; and religion. The book also reflects on why the unexamined life is not worth living, with the final substantial letter offering a radical approach to the philosophical and spiritual questions that all of us are likely to ask at some point in our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough the book primarily addresses the needs of young men moving towards adulthood, much of its content would be of equal interest to young women. In addition, the book contains a generous appendix with suggested reading, film and music lists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrandfathers will find this a useful handbook for discussions with grandchildren; parents will get a wider perspective of the problems their children are likely to face and what they are feeling; and if you are a young man, you are lucky indeed to have this book as a companion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Harbinger Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130901545200,"sku":"9781626257450","price":11.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781626257450_p0.jpg?v=1763865931","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781626257450","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
