Five Meanings

This is a book about the meaning of life. It is an earnest attempt to answer some deep questions that we all face: Why are we here? What is the meaning of life? How do I, Adam, fit into all of this? In it, I explain how humanity fits into the big picture of the universe, and how the universe created us to be creators. I look at one human's purpose in the broad landscape of humanity, and why we find deep purpose in creating things for the rest of society to enjoy.I look at the order of our universe, our society, and our individual abilities, and show how they are naturally linked. There are already thousands of books about how you should live. There seem to be so many, you'd think every person could find a book that was written just for them, with specific instructions for carrying out each day of their life. A lot of these books are very helpful, but they all share the same thread-they focus on how a person should live. They give tips and recipes for living a better life. Cookbooks, basically.This is not a cookbook. It precedes the question of how to do something. It tries to understand why we should do anything at all. If an average self-help book is a stroll through town on your lunch break, this one is a month-long vision quest in the forest. But it doesn't rely on mysticism, just reasoning. Feel free to read it in a sweat lodge though. I certainly sweated a lot writing it.
