Life is creation’s greatest treasure for man in the flesh, and most men should enjoy it much longer than they do. This can easily be done by learning the body’s simple requirements, and living in harmony with that knowledge. To an intelligent, unprejudiced person who can and does think, the information contained in this work may seem simple. But it is the fundamental simplicities that are always difficult to accept, because they are so very simple, and, therefore, unbelievable on that account.

What makes us who we are? Many think that we are just complicated machines, or animals that are different from machines only by being conscious. Richard Swinburne comes to the defense of the soul and presents new philosophical arguments that are supported by modern neuroscience.

Death might seem to render pointless all our attempts to create a meaningful life. Doesn't meaning require transcending death through an afterlife or in some other way? On the contrary, Dean Rickles argues, life without death would be like playing tennis without a net. Only constraints—and death is the ultimate constraint—make our actions meaningful. In Life Is Short, Rickles explains why the finiteness and shortness of life is the essence of its meaning-and how this insight is the key to making the most of the time we do have.

Become the master of yourself and your emotions. Find the you that you really are. We spend nearly 50 percent of our time thinking about something other than what we’re actually doing. Our past experiences keep us from living in the moment. Anxiety forces us to cling to our predetermined beliefs about ourselves, hold onto previous traumas, and live shackled in the chains of our past. But it doesn’t have to be this way....
