This is a collection of essays that throw light on the intricate affair called life. What is life? Does it have meaning and purpose? How can we make it a happy experience?
Philosophers and religions have spent much time on these questions. The results are multifarious. Every person is unique and hence universally acceptable answers to these questions are impossible. While religions satisfy some and philosophy appeals to many, literature and arts enlighten others. This book looks at life from various angles. You will find philosophy, literature, and religion mingling with each other seamlessly in this volume.
Comments
Quite a few books based on life and philosophies confuse the reader by the use of complex concepts and difficult vocabulary. This book is different from them, as it is almost simplistic in its approach. Each essay has been written in simple, yet concise language. The author’s attention never wanders, staying focussed on the topic firmly. There are bits and pieces of political sarcasm interspersed to enliven the reading. Each essay makes you pause and ponder. You take time to understand and assimilate all you have read. While reading the book, you marvel at the in-depth knowledge the author has on diverse subjects like popular fiction, Sanskrit, greek philosophy etc. You realise how erudite as a reader the book’s author is.
Hari OM Book read today and review is nearly is long!!! Gone live now (can see in blogrolls or click below). You certainly provide mind fodder and are a good foil for this eager beaver. YAM xx https://inimaynaelcammeno.blogspot.com/2021/06/menolibrikul-e-books-reviews-part-two.html
