The continuation of THE VIDEO OF THINGS, which carries on A.C. Grayling's philosophical journey through life.

The most important question we can ask ourselves is: what kind of life is the best? This equates to the question: How can one give meaning to one's life? How can one justify their existence and make it significant?

How can one make the experience valuable, continue to grow and learn in the process - and through this learning, attain a degree of understanding of oneself and the world?

A civilized society is one that never stops discussing with itself about how human life should be. Some would rightly say that if we want our society to be such, we all must contribute to this discussion.

This book is, with appropriate modesty, such a contribution. It is a collection of Grayling's regular "Last Words" columns in the Guardian newspaper. This time, the topics include suicide, fraud, luxury, profit, marriage, meat consumption, freedom, slavery, protest, weapons, and war.
