Produktbeschreibung
The near-death experience of an atheist makes him re-evaluate his life. Students are taught how idiotic philosophy can be. Recruits in a boot camp go through tough training exercises to become an elite cadre of readers. A self-made billionaire offers a free course on inner peace. An academic abandons his two kids and meets them as adults. A chef uses his TV cooking show to re-connect with his family. Aspiring writers learn their craft from a ghost. Where Playing To Win was about the joy and agony of competition, Talk About God offers an eclectic variety of stories that are at once thought-provoking and whimsical, with a touch of the incongruous and the absurd.
