The Broken Horoscope

By Raad Chalabi PhD | Publisher: Xlibris

About the book

The theme behind The Broken Horoscope is simple. It basically states that the more we try to pack individuals in predefined character slots in order to predict their future behaviour, the less likely we are to make any sense of what we subsequently observe their behaviour to be.
The book is intended to explore through imaginary dialogues the philosophical axiom that surprise is the essence of life and that human fickleness is its only anchor and the word maybe is its only compass.
