Has it ever happened to you that you suddenly couldn’t keep up with an interesting conversation? Did you have the impression that everyone else around you was taking part in an exciting debate that you could only understand? That’s not a nice feeling and can lead to embarrassing situations in which you appear uninformed and clueless. If you hardly know anything about the world, you are quickly left behind in conversations and find it difficult to form an opinion on socially relevant topics. In a fast-paced and increasingly hectic world, it is often difficult to distinguish between important and unimportant knowledge and to find the right words. But it’s not that difficult to acquire important general knowledge in a very short space of time!That’s exactly what I want to help you with this book. You don’t have time to wade through huge encyclopaedias or spend hours researching topics on the Internet? Are you often unsure whether your sources really reflect the facts correctly and how you can actually apply your knowledge? Then reading this compact guide to general knowledge is the right thing for you! Instead of complicated explanations and pages and pages of figures and data, you can expect easy-to-understand, informative sections on relevant topics from a wide range of areas.
