"Short essays that touch many topics--anxiety , consciousness, death, happiness, morality, stupidity, & truth--that make the case for realism & help set expectations with regard to the human condition"-- Provided by publisher.
This book offers a guide to human nature and human experience--a reference book for making sense of life. In thirty-eight short, interconnected essays, Shimon Edelman considers the parameters of the human condition, addressing them in alphabetical order, from action (good except when it's not) to love (only makes sense to the lovers) to thinking (should not be so depressing) to youth (a treasure). In a style that is by turns personal and philosophical, at once informative and entertaining, Edelman offers a series of illuminating takes on the most important aspects of living in the world. -- amazon.com
