"This is a short essay presenting a philosophical model on the meaning and purpose of life. It addresses the very basic but critical ""Why do people do what they do and feel what they feel?"" In other words, is it possible to identify a fundamental motivating factor that commands and explains all our deeds, impressions and desires? And if so, how can such an ultimate reference of meaning help us to lead a better life?Although it recognizes its due to our philosophical tradition, this book is meant to be of easy access, written so that most readers can enjoy it."
