In this book, the American rabbi and author of the bestselling When Bad Things Happen to Good People explores what is crucial for most people - how to live life in a way that makes it meaningful, that makes it matter, that makes its fruits count. To do this requires a better knowledge of human nature, an understanding of the many human desires and dilemmas. Using many examples from the lives of those around him, as well as great stories from the Bible and world literature, Kushner shows the human desire to be good, as well as his inner conflicts regarding issues of human falsity and wickedness, and considers the themes of revenge, justice, and forgiveness. The spiritual wisdom in the book is rooted in a Jewish worldview and a sense of humor and paradox, while the psychological lessons provide a series of clear terms and landmarks that the great experience of life brings sympathetically down to earth.
