Book Synopsis
The Pursuit of Sanity
At its core, life is the enterprise of discovery. We cannot help but absorb, pursue, and manage information. We cannot help but learn by what we observe and experience. We cannot help but think. We cannot help but seek to interpret the data of life. We cannot help but pursue the discovery of some means by which we can be fulfilled in life – to find significance for life. We pursue discovery because hard-wired into our nature is the need for life to make sense.
Solomon, with the aid of his teaching tool, Ecclesiastes, artfully leads us to the conclusion that life can make sense – that we can attain sanity in and for life lived. It’s simply about discovering the Far Side.
