About the Author
Manly P. Hall was the founder of the Philosophical Research Society. In over seventy-five years of dynamic public activity, he delivered more than 8,000 lectures in the United States and abroad, and authored countless books, essays, and articles. In his lectures and writings, Manly Hall always emphasized the practical aspects of philosophy and religion as they applied to daily living. He restated for modern man those spiritual and ethical doctrines which have given humanity its noblest ideals and most adequate codes of conduct. Believing that philosophy is a working tool to help the individual in building a solid foundation for his dreams and purposes, Manly Hall steadfastly sought recognition of the belief that world civilization can be perfected only when human beings meet on a common ground of intelligence, cooperation, and worthy purpose.
From the Back Cover
Mr. Hall believes that adversity cannot be faced by the individual who is without a philosophy of life that really justifies the reason for living. He presents here a classification and explanation of the basic elements of life from which to determine that which is worth striving for, along with a formula for a useful and intelligent life, drawn from the mature reflections of the world's ablest and most profound thinkers. Illustrations and a comprehensive index are included.
