I Think, Therefore I Ask: A Handbook For Intelligent Living
About the Book
An open-ended exploration of life’s biggest questions through the lens of honest self-reflection.
For millennia, religious and philosophical thinkers have attempted to answer humanity’s trickiest Who am I? What is my purpose? Why do I exist? Does anything matter? Is life an illusion? What happens after death?
There are no easy answers. All we can do is live the one life we’ve been given wisely, and with kindness. But how?
In I Think, Therefore I Ask, philosopher and writer Mukunda Rao argues that the path begins with honest and intelligent introspection. Why do you think the way you do? What shaped your views on existence, death, love, politics?
This thoughtful and practical guide invites you to question your assumptions—about yourself, others and the world—and, in doing so, move towards a wiser, more accepting and more peaceful way of being. At its heart, this is a book about reflective thinking and the power it has to alter your life.
