Modern thought tends to divide life into categories, but in the process of living, all the currents mix and mingle, and worthwhile answers only come from finding a harmonious relation to the whole. Seeking holistic understanding, this book ranges through psychology, art, science, religion, relationships, culture, mythology, philosophy, and the world’s wisdom traditions. Although no one can be expert in all these areas, the living of life does not offer the choice of avoiding any of them.

Better ways to ponder life's questions
Reviewed: 10-14-22
It's a rare author who can write a survey of the world's religious and spiritual traditions in a way that is not only palatable but pulls you in for more. In his first published book, David White has managed to do just that. Most of us have been taught to look at our life through a certain set of lens. On Being Human: An Operator's Manual provides you an entire set of lenses, broadening and strengthening the ways you can look at your life. By the end of this book you've gained the ability to see your life from many different perspectives and think about your hard questions in new ways. Books tell us stories. The best books teach us as they tell us stories. And the very top books tell, teach, and help us change our own stories. This book is one of those.
