"An excellent collection of thought-provoking essays and short pieces. Just Think about It! (2nd edn) covers an amazingly wide range of topics that really made me think and reconsider my life, my choices, and our business-as-usual world. So much of what we are bombarded with on social media and mass media, so-called "op-eds," are just a lot of noise; this author provides something very different. These are thought pieces, succinctly and logically presented for one's consideration. I came away feeling like I'd had a meaningful interaction and I really enjoyed and appreciated it." Karen Siddall, Amazon
"Just Think about It! (1st edn) covers a wide range of topics (too numerous to mention), and she has endeavoured to group them together by subject. Some are only a page long, others cover several pages and are more like essays, but they will all make you think!" James M. Fisher, The Miramichi Reader
"Tittle's pieces are atypical of philosophical writing in the best ways: of interest to non-specialists, yet instructive and profound, yet entertaining." Ron Cooper, Professor of Philosophy
"... a passionate, stylistically-engaging writer ..." George, Amazon
