The Philosophy of Life

Written from the heart, The Philosophy of Life is an absorbing and reflective read for anyone with an avid interest in religion, spirituality and the foibles of everyday life. The author uses an eclectic mix of fascinating real-life examples, events, anecdotes and poetry to support her powerful and eloquent messages. Life's journey, as we all know, is full of ups and downs and the author delves into what many of us have to face. From the importance of gratitude, family and parenting to the challenges of 21st century life, there is much to reflect on. Discussions about bereavement (and how it can weaken one's faith), solitude, depression and the pitfalls to happiness are handled with tact, diplomacy and sheer honesty. With additional thoughts about patience, listening, building a bridge to other's lives, ethics and footprints, there are so many notable concepts here that one will remember them long after the final page has been read. This gem of a book depicts the colourful tapestry of life and all the adventures it offers.
