Summary

This is "an inspired work of insight, wisdom, solace, and commentary on the human condition drawn from the world's great humanist traditions of thought and literature, Western and Eastern alike. ... Opening with meditations on the origin and progress of the world and human life withing it, Grayling then focuses on the questions of how life should be lived, how we relate to one another, and how vicissitudes are to be faced and joys appreciated. For a secular age in which many find that religion no longer speaks to them, this is a literary tour de force -- a book of life and practice invoking the greatest minds of the past in the perennial challenge of being human." -- book jacket
