Summary

In the rush to meet the challenges and pressures of life, we dont always allow ourselves the time to contemplate the meaning of our realities. Why are we here? What do we hope to accomplish with our lives? Where are we headed, and what is genuinely important? The good news is that we live in an exciting, fast-paced world that can provide us with many good things. The bad news is that on some level we find ourselves feeling stuck in a rat race that lacks ultimate meaning. This book sheds light on the obstacles of the rat race, stimulates thought about the direction of our lives, and helps us draw on our strengths to get beyond the mundane.
