Meaningful Life

A MEANINGFUL LIFE is a book about living purposefully and composedly in today s world of strife turmoil uncertainty and competitive survival. The recognition is that with a stable intelligently derived sense of meaning anyone can weather any storm with courage and composure or as stated by Friedrich Nietzsche If we have our own why in life we shall get along with almost any how. Without it today s youth are burdened by feelings of uncertainty loneliness fear depression or despair leaving a hole in the soul they cannot comprehend far less fill. The consequence is the irresistible attraction to alcohol drugs entertainment reckless sexual encounters or activities that cause harm to self or others just to escape these feelings or get comfort even if superficial or fleeting. Real meaning can only be reached through logic and scientifically sound reasoning a personal and individually driven exercise. This book uses dialogue that critically examines the nature of self of theism and of our physical reality to guide the reader to achieve that objective for themselves or to guide someone in their charge to do so. It does not offer ten easy answers or twelve rules to follow. It will instead dissect science philosophy and theology to reach a logical revelation of human existence in a world of perpetual change showing that we are more than a composite of flesh slated only to survive but a real though invisible existence the soul with a mandate to grow to be the best we can be.
