Life Works outlines how mankind can alleviate its own suffering. It uses over seventy Socratic dialogues - a genre of literary works developed in Ancient Greece in which speakers discuss philosophical and moral issues - to discover a better way for mankind to live. The book uses the philosophies of many famous figures in the guise of transcribed conversations, ranging from D.H. Lawrence to Gandhi, Albert Einstein to Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Socrates to Edna St. Vincent Millay. Life Works deals primarily with the actions of the reader. Through the included dialogues, we are encouraged to be more conscious about the world around us and the resources which it offers. It urges the reader to stop and think before we act and to consider the consequences of our actions as a human race and the effects which they have on the world around us.
