The content of this book takes the reader on an extensive journey regarding what it means to be human. The universal perspective offered is intended to set aside our tendency to place the greatest emphasis on one's individuality rather than our extensive similarities. We are in fact "brothers" and to the degree that we understand ourselves, we understand everyone else. There are no exceptions! The essence of being human never changes and what humans strive for today in terms of their sense of worth has always remained a part of their nature. This book sets out what this entails and does so in a way that is easily comprehensible, enlightening and controversial at times. Readers are challenged to see things in a different way and to take what is offered as their own personal insights.
