This spirituality book draws on the wisdom of 2,500 years of contemplative non-religious writing on all that it means to be human - from the origins of the universe to small matters of courtesy and kindness in everyday life - A. C. Grayling, Britain's most popular and widely read philosopher, has created a secular bible.

Intended both as a narrative and a source of inspiration, encouragement, and reflection, The Good Book provides a thoughtful, non-religious alternative for those who do not adhere to the world’s major faiths.

Drawing on traditions far older and more diverse than Christianity—including the secular philosophical and literary schools of great civilizations across East and West—Grayling weaves together wisdom from classical Greek philosophy, Confucian, Mencian, and Mohist thought in China, ancient Rome, the intellectual flourishing of India and the Arab world, the European Renaissance and Enlightenment, and the scientific advancements of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Through careful selection, editing, and organization, he presents a compelling collection of humanity’s secular wisdom in a highly accessible volume.
