Readers' comments and reviews:

"I am not a philosopher but this book leads me to a lot of interesting questions that I would never have thought about. They are all very meaningful and mind-blowing questions which will stretch your mind. Strongly recommend to read it. I finish all 150 pages in 2 days because it is so interesting that I cannot stop reading it."  (Reviewer on Barnes & Noble)

"...it is quite possibly the best book I've ever picked up. It is so insanely interesting. It leaves me confused every time I pick it up even though I understand what it is saying." (from http://runspaz.blogspot.com/)

“This book does not exist” ... is a really interesting collection of famous paradoxes and related real-life examples, thought experiments and puzzles. As the subtitle of the book suggests, Hayden and Picard take the reader on a journey into the world of the paradoxical that touches upon a wide area of topics: Knowing and Believing, Vagueness and Identity, Logic and Truth, Mathematical Paradoxes, Probability Paradoxes, Space and Time, Impossibilities and last but not least Deciding and Acting. 

“This book does not exist” will definitely give you ample food for thought — occasional puzzlement and head-shaking is guaranteed. Moreover, the book will help you do become a better thinker by becoming more aware to paradoxes and by helping you to avoid related thinking traps and cognitive biases. The authors have done a superb job of makin philosophical and scientific concepts easily accessible to a general reader, and have nicely packaged the book into short bites that can easily be digested one piece a day like chocolates in a praline box.      (Dr. Detlef Reis / THINKERGY Ltd)

"Good wholesome nerd fun."  (A reviewer on livingsocial.com)
