Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the predominant view of man as a product of reason, arguing instead that there is an innate and overlooked instinct of the divine within all of us. The author, a keen observer of the human condition, argues that the human experience is one of profound contradiction, driven by a fundamental duality between our dependency on societal norms and the pull of our inner spiritual instincts. Spirituality, he argues, can stabilize our emotional lives, allowing us to find pleasure not in the attainment of physical wealth and power, but through the simple joys of shared human existence. This book is not so much a treatise on religion, but rather an exploration of the interconnectedness of man and nature, and serves as a timely reminder of the power of human resilience.
