About this title

Synopsis

"The Adventure of Being Human" is about LIVING FULLY, in a NEW KOSMOS, with a NEW KOSMIC LIFE STORY/MYTH.

What is the purpose and meaning of life - my life? What kind of universe and world do we live in? How do humans fit in and what is our role? How can humans best relate to each other? Is there a Supreme Power? If so, what is its/his/her new face? And after we die??? What is life all about anyway - and how can live it to the fullest? "The Adventure of Being Human" addresses these and other fundamental questions of life and helps you answer them for yourself.

Bottom line: Your answers to these questions determine the quality of your life. A person answers them each day. These basic assumptions about life form our Story of Life. How adequate is your Story of Life? By reading this book, you can experience a completely full and satisfying life, NOW.

We are living in a world in which no other humans have ever lived. The basic assumptions of the Kosmos have changed dramatically so as to provide us a completely new understanding of every aspect of our existence. Previous modes of operations, values, religious symbols/stories no longer function effectively in this new world . As such, we are in the midst of CULTURE WARS - a conflict of Life Stories. This book provides a starter version of a new Kosmic Story of Life, a new Global Myth, so that you can have a winning chance.

Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
