A guide to help you in your search

This book is a wonderful source to help you on your search for meaning in life. It tells us that us that each of can not be expected to be given meaning, but we must find meaning for ourselves. Hence, life becomes an adventure for everyone, where we must contemplate our existence to the extent that we must avoid preoccupation with meaninglessness, separation and having and instead focus on being. With being you can uncover your spiritual quest, intellectual growth, emotional balance and physiological homeostasis. This book forces you to think about your present mode of life. Are you so busy that traffic, long hours, and plane rides consume your life? Do you let yourself buy into that accumulating wealth will bring you happiness? Many more questions are presented and analyzed and this book is recommended for one who is facing difficulty in life or just interested and curious if there is meaning. I can say that after reading this book that I have a much better conception of meaning for myself and approach the forthcoming years of my life with more understanding that life is a puzzle that one can put together if you take the time and patience to carefully think how to put the pieces together.
