Life is complicated. But most of us are given no guidance in how to approach it. Until now! This book is your no-nonsense guide to a thoughtful life.
You are a medium-sized creature living on a small planet in a vast universe. You will be alive for a few decades and will then cease to exist. In this stunning book, Richard Docwra shows how you can make the most of this brief period of living by approaching it in a thoughtful and well-informed way.
He explores 10 big questions - from 'What am I?' to 'How can I think well?' - that will change the way you see everything, and give you a renewed sense of curiosity, direction and passion for life. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to make the most of the unique and finite opportunity they have to exist.
