5.0 out of 5 stars Looking for overall happiness? You¿ve found the answer!!, March 28, 2001

This review is from: Understanding Reality: A Commonsense Theory of the Original Cause (Paperback)

If you've been looking for overall happiness, the purpose of your life, or perhaps a way of thinking where the feeling of anxiety is unnecessary, then congratulations, you've just found the book that provides the answer! A refreshing, non-dogmatic and above all a common sense way of thinking is proposed by these two authors. A little heavy going to start with, but soon you will appreciate the hypothesis being presented. It's not really a book you would read cover to cover, you are more likely to jump between different discussion areas within the book, for example love and the need for love, self identity, death, the purpose of your own life and everything you see around you. I've been 'reading' the book for over a year now and have found that not only my anxieties in life have significantly reduced, but also my overall happiness and satisfaction about my life has improved to a point where I now find life, generally very enjoyable and agreeable.

You don't actually need to purchase the book as the entire book is available, free, on the web ... . This is a sign the authors are not interested in making any money out of the ideas being presented, but would prefer the hypothesis to be discussed by everyone from all walks of life. The authors claim these big issues in life should be discussed by everyone and not left to authorities such as religious groups or science to answer and then dictate to us all.
