Reasonable Expectations: Musings on metaphysics, origins, meaning and purpose

By Ian Goldthorp

Explained: The Meaning of Life! Revealed: The Secret of Happiness! "If only I had known this when I ..." "Why didn't somebody tell me sooner?" A down-to-earth look at the things we believe because " ...well, because we just do". Enjoy a non-scholarly, and sometimes whimsical, stroll through an assortment of ideas which tackle the 'big questions' by asking: - Why do you think a peacock's tail is beautiful? - How do we know what we believe? - What's love got to do with it? - What does a goldfish know? - Is contentment attainable? - What's left of human rights? - Can we learn from the animals? - Where did truth and beauty come from? The answers, if nothing else, should prove useful for starting conversations at dinner parties, but may also open a window to the perennial questions about meaning, purpose and happiness, and show that achieving them is entirely in keeping with 'Reasonable Expectations'.
