Katie Price is no exception. She, too, is - in a distinctive way - a philosopher. Partially, Katie Price's philosophy is one of extraordinary confidence. She is remarkable not for her looks or antics but because of her tremendous self-assurance and her unwillingness to be intimidated by criticism or failure.

It's clear to me that there is no good reason for many philosophy books to sound as complicated as they do.

You could take everything off me tomorrow, I'll still be happy. So long as my family are living very close together, that's all that matters, really, for me.

I'm a black man who grew up in America. I'm a father of four children. They don't all have the same mother. I own a business.
