Complaint: From Minor Moans to Principled Protests By Julian Baggini

Published by Profile Books £5.49 from Amazon

The British are known as a nation of complainers, but according to philosopher Baggini we’re not doing it right. Rather than complaining about things we can actually change we’re directing our fury at bad weather and late trains. What’s more, when we have genuine reason make a complaint we’re not doing it, unlike the Americans, who love a good argument. It all sounds like good advice... if you trust philosophers, but what do they know?
