      This guide explores new ambitions in work, relationships, and learning, posing thought-provoking questions about the human experience. It delves into the essence of life, examining what constitutes a wasted life and how individuals can confront their illusions. The text considers the perspectives of both the poor and the rich, questioning what each can learn from the other. It addresses deeper issues such as the various forms of suicide, the understanding between believers and unbelievers, and the evolution of religious beliefs. The book challenges readers to overcome prejudices and rethink their approach to the future, suggesting that ridicule may serve as a potent form of non-violent protest. It also touches on the importance of humor and the feelings of displacement many experience in their own countries. The exploration of love and relationships questions traditional dynamics between women and men, pondering the possibility of a new sexual revolution and the search for soulmates. Further, it examines the motivations behind hard work, the pursuit of leadership, and the quest for more fulfilling ways to earn a living. It raises questions about the wisdom that can be gained from elders and the importance of maintaining a youthful spirit. Ultimately, it seeks to uncover what it truly means to be alive and where one can find intellectual nourishment. This work is a winner of the Salon London Transmission Prize.
