Modern Wisdom by Brian Lipkin is a book that contains a collection of thoughts and opinions on many different topics. The writer shares what he thinks about certain topics. A lot of what's shared can be controversial and can have people either very agreeing or very upset. That's because the opinions are strong and because they touch on many sensitive topics like politics and religion.

The writer shares his wisdom, and he handles modern topics. This is where the name comes from. I love how deep the thoughts are sometimes. I also admire his courage in showing his points of view strongly on different topics. For example, he continuously attacks Trump, his policies, and the people that are on his side. He saved no energy there. He also shared strong opinions about religion and God, especially Christianity. Some people might want to stay away from such controversial topics to avoid losing some audience or being attacked, but that wasn't the case here.

The book presented one opinion after another, and the topics flipped without any form of organization or categorization. I find this tricky. In the current form, you can lose concentration by jumping between topics; on the other hand, I don't think that putting each subject individually would have been a better idea. I believe it could have been boring or repetitive. I don't really have the perfect solution, but I would have loved a better way of putting things together. However, this doesn't take away from the book's value.

The writer's opinions varied for me between things I agreed with and even got impressed by his notices and things that didn't appeal to me. There are a few that I even didn't understand. But overall, I appreciated the experience and enjoyed it. The book is not for everyone; you need to be open-minded and accepting, or maybe you need to have the same opinions as the writer. The book received professional editing; I could only notice a minor typo. Therefore, I rate Modern Wisdom by Brian Lipkin five out of five stars because I appreciate having strong opinions and expressing them freely. I also appreciate the wisdom I found in the book.
