In a world of iPhones and connectivity to social media and email, we are all in constant connection with one another. Then why are so many people feeling burned out, distant from colleagues, and abandoned by family and friends?

Our society is obsessed with achievement. Young people are pushed toward the next test or the "best" grammar school, high school, or college they can get into. Adults push themselves toward the highest-paying, most prestigious jobs, seeking promotions and public recognition.

What if he’s sad because his favorite pool is closed, and he’s afraid to try the newer, bigger pool because of the unknowns? What if he hates to say good-bye to his old soccer team and doesn’t want to join a new one?

Whether that destination is called heaven, nirvana, or simply the other side, tradition teaches us that there is, in most cases, a fairy-tale ending to life, a place where joy and harmony reign supreme. Yet, as this book attests, there is still more to heaven and Earth than is dreamt of in our philosophies.

The modern woman has thrown off many of the old stereotypes that held back previous generations. Work and careers, together with the financial freedom and independence they bring, play a far more prominent role now than ever before.

The great writings of American transcendentalist philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) are not some distant ponderings on life – they are works of the highest practicality, intended to supply guidance and daily help.
