This book is a unique presentation of common but highly important issues that affect us all deeply. These are illustrated with personal anecdotes to which the readers can relate and compare with their own experiences in life. Each chapter is independent and presented in a conversational manner which makes reading easy. The book deals with a wide range of subjects, such as sex and sexuality, euthanasia, self-confidence, superstition, religion, evolution, parenting, conflicts, leadership, and the interpretation of scriptures, among others.

In addition to presenting the essence of many philosophical concepts and contrasting them with scientific evidence, the book asserts that our world has never before been richer and more technically advanced, but that our unthinking brains have precipitated unhappiness, conflicts, poverty, greed, crime and selfishness. A book of huge interest generally, this is also useful as a handy source of information for the students of humanities, the linguists and translators of ancient languages.

Dr Prasanna Gautam formerly served as a distinguished physician and teacher of medicine at the University Group of Hospitals in Aberdeen. His longstanding interest in ancient history, Sanskrit literature and philosophy led him to translate the Rigveda word-for-word in English. He has also published widely in Nepali, Hindi and English, and his works include the medical memoir I Will Need to Break Your Other Leg: Tales of Medical Adventure and Misadventure and the novel The Ping: An International Thriller.
