A Thing or Two is a book of plain talk on complex topics.
It's about how to ask questions and think about who we are, how we live, and what that living is for. Across eighteen short chapters filled with examples and humor, family doctor and medical ethicist Marc Tunzi offers deeply personal, yet widely accessible observations and insights that address a lifetime of learning. Specific subjects include issues in ethics and philosophy, history and theology, community and government, and behavioral economics.
How do we acquire and process information? How do we use that information to guide our lives individually and live together in society? How do we find meaning?
The practical approach and interdisciplinary focus of A Thing or Two is for everyone-average, thoughtful people who have to integrate these topics in our daily lives, as we do our best in a challenging world.
Bibliographic sources are cited throughout, and key observations and insights are often punctuated by quotes from historical figures, ranging from the Chinese philosopher Xunzi to Thomas Aquinas to Benjamin Franklin to Yogi Berra, among many others.
The book is also an invitation for readers to consider all the stuff that they themselves have learned. Hopefully, many who finish A Thing or Two will say to themselves, "Ha! I can do better," and write a thing or two of their own.
