Were you Napoleon in a past life? Is your coffee conscious?And do you really have free will - or are you just a pre-programmed brain in a jar?

In this witty and mind-bending book, philosopher Gareth Southwell uncovers the weird world of philosophy woven into the fabric of everyday life. From the mysteries of the mind (are your memories really yours?), to living the good life (can I do wrong to do right?), and a host of other conundrums, Is My Coffee Conscious? explores life's biggest questions in the most unexpected of places.

Packed with brain-boggling thought experiments, real-world dilemmas and a host of 'wait...what?' moments, the book proves that philosophy isn't just for ancient scholars - it's for anyone who's ever doubted if we really landed on the Moon, fallen in love with their best friend, or wondered if their laptop is secretly judging their search history...

Dr. Gareth Southwell is a philosopher, writer and illustrator living in Wales, UK. He has taught, examined and written about philosophy for many years, and is the author of a range of books aimed at the general reader: A Beginner's Guide to Descartes's Meditations and A Beginner's Guide to Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil (Wiley-Blackwell), Words of Wisdom (Quercus), 50 Philosophy of Science Ideas You Really Need to Know (Quercus), and (with Julian Baggini) Philosophy: Key Themes and Philosophy: Key Texts (Palgrave Macmillan).
