Send the following quote to a friend:
The society which scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity, and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because philosophy is an exalted activity, will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.

“Hi, Brian! I just subscribed to Philosophers Notes a few days ago and I LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT. I look forward to listening to/reading all of them. Thank you for creating and sharing with us. Peace & Blessings,”
“Hello Brian: I came across your site by chance (or was it chance?) and I think that it is fantastic. Why? Well because I think that the underlying concept, as I see it, is something that is very much needed in current times. Hard working, time pressed folk just can't devote the hours necessary to work their way properly through all the books you refer to. And I am not at all convinced that any sort of "speed reading" techniques would help to absorb in full the original content of all your enclosed texts. It's just great to be able to download a MP3 and listen to the 20 minutes or so of "distilled wisdom" per book last thing at night on my iPod. The way I see it you have compiled the musical equivalent of a "Greatest Hits" compilation from the philosophy domain. Plus I think that US$20 is very, very good value. May the powers that be give you the strength and inspiration to continue your important work.”
"The Coach is the antidote to the Victim’s Rescuer in the DDT…Mainly, a Coach supports, assists, and facilitates the Creator in manifesting a desired outcome. A Coach holds others to be whole, resourceful, and creative…They help you dig deep inside yourself to gain clarity about what you want to create in your life." ~ David Emerald
