Along the way, Inger...

Thousands of books have been written in many languages about self-development, so what does this book tell you the others do not? Nothing! It says nothing that has not already been said; it has the same message that has always been brought to humanity, but because we are all different and require different ways of learning, this book was created.

Many books about personal development start by explaining how to drop everything we have picked up in our lives until now. Usually, there is a lot that we would like to discard, and it can seem quite overwhelming. I choose to start with the...

Have you ever asked yourself questions such as these:

• Is human existence ultimately an endless race? Do we exist in perpetual competition with everyone else in the global economy? Is this the highest vision of humanity that we can attain?

• Is it fundamental human nature to consume natural resources endlessly? Is our species destined to use up this planet eventually?
