"Of course I only have one life, the rational reader may think now. Some may believe in reincarnation; for them the title of the book would no longer be appropriate. Others believe in life after death and that happiness can only be found in the hereafter is to be found while the earth is a vale of tears."
This book is about the meaning of life, which includes personal happiness, but also that of the world, regardless of origin and religion. It is about a rational, demonstrable ethics, a philosophy for everyone, in everyday life. A cleverly and understandably written book that requires no philosophical knowledge. This is about a practical attitude to life in a time of widespread disorientation. The book offers the reader support and help in almost all areas of life.
