Editorial Reviews

From the Author

101 Questions for Humanity is the original book in J Edward's Coffee Table Philosophy series. The questions are short, direct, and easy to grasp. It's ideal for starting conversations during parties (and it served the author well in breaking the ice with people at the local tavern.)
The idea for the book arrived during a party. In a room filled with attractive, intelligent human beings, everyone had their noses in their cell phones, and no one was really talking about anything interesting.
This can't continue, J Edward thought to himself. I have to fix this.
And so he did.
And the Coffee Table Philosophy series was born.

About the Author

J Edward Neill became obsessed with writing in early 2001. On one bitterly cold morning in the lowest corridor of his candlelit man-cave, he fingers to keyboard and began hammering away on what would soon become a lifelong obsession. Since that day, he has spent nearly all his free time lost in his daydreams, conjuring ways to write the kind of stories he loved as a child. When he's not glooming in front of his laptop or iPad, J Edward haunts the internet via his websites: www.TesseraGuild.com and www.DowntheDarkPath.com. He currently lives in the North Georgia 'burbs, where he moonlights as a foodie, a sipper of too much pinot noir, and the hugest-armed quarterback never to sniff the NFL. 101 Questions for Humanity is his first non-fiction book.

A book with many uses

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2019

I love the simplicity of the book, yet its content is complex and diverse. This is a great book with many uses. You can read this book by yourself and ponder the questions in your head. You can whip it out during a party or get together with your friends and discuss and debate the questions for lively conversation. I will be sitting down with my daughter and asking these questions so we can both answer and then compare. There are some very thought provoking questions contained in this book, I absolutely love it! Great idea for a book!

The ultimate in-depth questions game

Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2015

Verified Purchase

101 Questions for Humanity, by Author J Edward Neill, is just what the title proclaimed: Questions for humanity. It's actually very fascinating. These are questions you might or might not have thought about. I found myself answering them as I read along, which I'm sure was the authors intent. This, in my opinion, could be a little question game you play on the road or with friends to get to know someone's take on life and what they value. There's one question that asked: "Two fires are raging. You can rush into one house and save your child. Or you can rush into the other and save 100 people. Which house?"
I am a mother, I love my child more then anyone or thing. My answer would be my child.
These are the kind of in-depth questions you will be asked in this book. If it wasn't for the fact that I am a fan of Author Neill's and that the book was free, I wouldn't have saw myself purchasing it. Yet, I loved the questions that are asked. I'm going to use them on some of my friends and family. This to me is the ultimate in-depth questions game: To know someone's deep dark feelings.

An interesting book that forces you to think about the mysteries of life.

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2023

Verified Purchase

First off, I love books on science and philosophy because they force you to think more deeply about things than you might normally do with other kinds of subjects. This unique 112-page volume (101 questions for humanity: Coffee table philosophy by J. Edward Neill) caught my eye while browsing on Amazon.

I just received the book and as usual the delivery was prompt. This interesting book is simple, yet it provides “food for thought.” It includes 101 questions you can use for a fun time with friends or even just yourself. Any book that can get you away from your DUMB, oops I mean so called “smart” phone is worth reading.

It all begins with a title or subject such as the first one: “Let’s start with a softball question. Choose another place and time in history you’d like to live in. Name every reason why.” There are also more serious type questions also in this text such as “The love of your life. Would you rather die after them? Or before? If you could ask ONE question of the universe and have it answered utterly and completely, what would it be?”

In conclusion, other than the many thought-provoking questions listed, there is not a lot of material in this book; however, if you are curious about the many questions about life you may want to check out this volume. Any time a book forces you to think more deeply on the many mysteries of life, death and the universe is worth reading.
Rating: 4 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Martial Art and Warrior Haiku and Senryu).

Great conversation starters and even better if you reserve judgement of the answers you hear. There were a few exceptional questions and just a few that fell flat but over all, quite smart. There can also serve a excellent journal prompt to crack writers block.

Amazing for conversation starters and to really get to see others perspective. Would recommend for families, couples, or even just go challenge yourself.

In it's defense, it did say it's for arm chair philosophers.

Frankly, I was hoping for something deeper.

Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2019

This book has questions to ask your friends or dates to generate discussion and get to know them better. For example, "Choose another place and time in history you'd like to live in. Name every reason why. " Another example, "On average, how many lies per month do you tell? Justify your number." And here is the last example, "Suppose reincarnation is real. In what form do you hope to live your next three lives."

The book has only questions, no answers, no discussions. If you have trouble coming up with questions for discussion on your own this book might be helpful. Frankly, I was hoping for something deeper.

If you like deep discussions or just learning more about each other, this is the book for you. I come from a family that loves talking, and, generally, no subject is off the table, so I bought this and one of its companion books for our family holiday.

We drove 600 miles up to the Scottish Highlands, and delved into the questions this book poses. My children are all adults (almost) and I suppose I thought I knew them – ha! These questions provided some great discussions and responses that I hadn’t expected, amongst many I did.

So you know what to expect these are a couple of the questions put to you: ‘Set aside your belief system. Describe the afterlife as the way you want it to be.’, ‘Aside from food, water, and your home, could you live happily from now until the end without buying a single thing more?’, and ‘What is the worst crime conceivable?’ That’s only three, there are 98 more…

Have some fun with these fascinating and enlightening topics!

Fun but not the best

Got as a gift for my little sister as she is very interested in Philosophy, although I did not find these questions to be great. Didn't buy this thinking it would be amazing as it was a cheap stocking filler but the questions weren't very creative or hard to think about. Is quite a good book to just flick through the pages though as it can be quite entertaining.
