From Sun Tzu's strategy for winning at board games to Freud's insights into our 'death drive', this book offers fascinating meditations on the world and our place in it. You'll discover why pleasure is better than pain, why people enjoy watching scary movies, and why De Beauvoir believed the mothering instinct is a myth.
