Written in an engaging, lucid style, How to Get a Life is for readers interested in the great questions of our time, but who don't have the time or inclination to read thick stacks of scholarly books. Although each chapter will contain a brief biographical sketch, the focus will be the individual's advice for daily living; beliefs about God and the universe; conceptions of love, death, fear, sex, and destiny; the importance of relationships; impediments to self understanding; actions to take when things go wrong; and how to rise above mediocrity. Individuals featured in this volume include: Mother Teresa, Jesus, Martin Luther King, Jr., Joseph Campbell, Bill Wilson, Gerda Weissmann Klein, Albert Schweitzer, Oprah Winfrey, Buddha, Leo Buscaglia, Jane Goodall, Dalai Lama, Muhammad, Confucius, and Richard of St. Victor.
