Opis

As we go through each day, the question of life's purpose lingers, influencing our feelings and inclinations. Even if we are unaware of it, this concern follows us through the inevitable highs and lows of life, affecting how we react to them. This compelling double memoir tackles that all-important question by roaming through one well-examined life, from a challenging childhood to the senior years. It is a double memoir because it tracks the two lives of the author-the up close and personal life that she leads every day, and the "engaged spectator" life, an impersonal and objective level where we can see our lives playing out on the grand universal stage. Spending time on this level allows us to step away from guilt and blame, pondering instead what is truly driving us and how we can make the most of the miracle that is our daily life. Over many years and countless hours of introspection, author Evelyn Aronson has fit her individual revelations into a complete worldview. She's discovered the 'right questions' to promote harmony and find purpose. Following along with the story of her life, we can see how these musings formed and how the sun can shine on our own path ahead.
