Letters to a Young Contrarian (Art of Mentoring) - Christopher Hitchens

It is pretty absurd to think a book by a contrarian about the subject will get total love and agreement from other contrarians. Hitchens does take a viewpoint on numerous subjects. Those things remain to be debated. But the best thing he does in this book is gage the reasons why people become contrarians and how they can protect that individuality. He understands the inert feelings involved. Thomas Jefferson once said he had to find the argument in everything. He didn't know why, but he just had to. This book professes the same thing. It also does well to explain why the contrarian voice is needed in society. Whenever I find my confidence wavering because I am against all opinions, I can come back to this book to find comfort.
