"What is life all about?" and, "What's my purpose in the world?" are age-old concerns that can be found throughout humanity. Along with such serious questions, are the answers that have been provided, and the book issues a critique of some of these answers, with a candid understanding that they are not just answers, they are the worldview of so many seeking a life of purpose and harmony. The analytical approach the author takes toward understanding these answers is disciplined but sympathetic. The aim was not to debunk people's worldview about the meaning of life, and why we are here, but to suggest that, answers to questions such as, "Does the universe need me?" may not be so clear, and so certain.
