Synopsis
Apparently, just around the bend is where we'll find everything we've been looking forward to including; world peace, winning the lottery and a blissful retirement. That's great, but if they're what you're looking for you won't find them in this book. What you'll find is a series of essays that examine some diverse topics about human nature, looked at from an unusual perspective and written in a way you may not have read before - plain English. I know the daily grind keeps many of us way too busy to stop and consider - or care - about the mysteries of life let alone homilies like 'Know Thyself''; we have enough problems with 'Where are my keys?' But if you're up to examining your 'mind' whilst I examine mine, then turn the book over and let's get started. Paying close attention to our thoughts, reactions and feelings can be scary at first but it reveals a great deal about us and is well worth the effort. You're not alone and help is always available ... far closer than you imagine., Apparently, just around the bend is everything we've been looking forward to including world peace, winning the lottery and a blissful retirement. Regrettably, the energy and drive most of us need to enjoy them, should they materialise, have been left way behind us. The buzz word is 'Now' but somehow we always seem to be either side of it. Perhaps we're too busy with the rituals of daily life to consider what homilies like 'Know Thyself', and 'Who am I?' really mean. Maybe we missed something along the way, or prefer to live with the mystery of it all - contenting ourselves with 'poster' philosophy. However, if 'poster' philosophy leaves you feeling dissatisfied, then this book, which covers a range of mind-stretching topics, might be just what you're looking for.
