This book is somewhat short, but quite concise. It covers the major questions of philosophy in a relatively simple manner intended for the layman. It has chapters on God, Monism, Human Freedom, Truth, Cause, and other such things. It contains a bibliography for further reading and a short index.

I did enjoy it, but I don't really want to read it again.
