Complaint: From Minor Moans to Principled Protests
Julian Baggini

‘This book could change the way we live … [a] relaxed, affable, yet startlingly lucid analysis of humanity’s tendency to complain’ - The Independent

Complaint can be a powerful political tool. Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King both used it to drive social change. So why do we moan about increasingly trivial things – like the weather or public transport? Do Brits complain less than Americans? Do men and women complain about different things? What is the best way to complain? From Adam and Eve to the Iraq War, Baggini analyzes precisely what we complain about, how and why. You can’t complain about that!
