Walter Mehrer argues that gratitude is a stance you cannot regret, and that most people defer big questions about time and space to experts instead of thinking for themselves. Hutchison says it's your job to interrogate these fundamentals and challenge your assumptions about reality.

Chapters

Nobody could ever regret being grateful. This is one of my favorite takeaways from God or Space, a book I just read by Walter Mirror. So many of us are caught up in day-to-day life, working our jobs so that we can pay our bills, and we think that it's the philosopher's job or the professor's job to question reality and think about the greater questions in life. And this author says no, it's our responsibility to do so. Instead of listening to all the gurus out there, why don't we listen to ourselves? And think about things like time and space and ask ourselves these questions. There's a lot to think about in this book, and if you want to challenge your perspective of reality, then this book is for you.
