In this compact book, the authors tackle some big ideas: What is the essence of the human being? How do we live out the will of our creator? How can we live in harmony with ourselves and others? The answers to these questions come from philosophy, which offers a different understanding of the human being than the better-known viewpoints of religion and science. The authors show how philosophy and psychology offer seeds of wisdom that help us to understand our true nature, make room for all our feelings, relate to others in an ethical manner, grow as an adult, and more. These seeds of wisdom give us a deeper understanding of what it means to be human.
