About This Book
A few decades of living in the modern age accumulates a great deal of information about our own selves! Quite a bit tends to be borrowed: from books, from people, from work, from culture, from algorithms. Information, even if it be about our own self, feels like power while it is being collected, but is found to be less helpful when a real life situation arrives.
What helps though is a real life question, a question that refuses to be answered with the borrowed material, but which acts as a searchlight in the deep fog before our eyes caused by the life challenge, with our own deep contemplation guided by this light paving the way to clarity and a slow but sure resolution of the situation.
Fifty-two such questions are the architecture of this book. They are not intellectual puzzles. They have been chosen, over many years, for one quality, that they cannot be answered casually, but anyone who sits with them honestly, will find them interesting, challenging and urging the person to rethink his understanding about it.
I believe that in the modern age, almost defined by but also consumed by high speed, technology, virtuality, wealth, enjoyments and thrills, the one path left to intelligent humans who wish to progress in life is questioning, questioning your own beliefs.
Such is the mosaic within which the questions shall appear. The questions are not gentle. They are also not unkind. They cannot be approached or resolved with what is already known, that’s all.
