Book excerpt: This is a book of philosophy and for that, I apologize. Philosophy used to try and explain the world around us and our experiences, to answer the life's big questions, and to help us make sense of it all. If it still did that, it would truly be a great thing! More often of late, to anyone with a shred of common sense, philosophers seem to have lost their marbles. The answers we get to life's questions are more confusing than ever, and the arguments become inane to the point that a common man would regret asking the big questions. There are good reasons for the overall failure of modern philosophy to answer life's big questions. Some of the mistakes were made over 2400 years ago by early western philosophers. When your foundation is built on sand, is there any mystery why the edifice eventually crumbles? Furthermore, modern philosophers have in some cases assumed their own hypothesis from the start, ignoring the evidence of falsehood. And so, again I apologize, for the topics of philosophical discussion can be difficult to swallow and digest. I empathize with you, and so, I will try to make my evaluation of these questions as palatable as possible. More importantly, this is a book of answers and that is truly a great thing! Once you have the answers to the big questions, the little ones will all fall into place. Together we are going to examine these age-old questions and come up with some real answers - ones that will help explain the world around us and our experience of it. Some of the answers will undoubtedly astound you, because truth is astounding. And, of course, there will be those who simply can't handle the truth. In the end, they will be truly ashamed of themselves. They will let this opportunity slip through their fingers and continue to muddle through life without direction. Do you expect the right answers to confirm the floundering life you are leading? Are you unwilling to change your life for the better? Then you must expect and prepare for hard work ahead of you. If you are among those few who already know the answers to life's questions, then you know your life's purpose, and are not floundering, but driven toward this goal. What is more, you are certain that it is the right goal and you are not headed in the wrong direction. You are indeed wise beyond your years. But, please, read on. You may find confirmation in your understanding, you may come across something unexpected, or you may discover you don't know everything you thought you did. For the rest of us, still searching for answers, let's get started.
