Publisher's Synopsis
There are times when life as a human becomes difficult. We are caught between the divine and the instinctual: neither omnipotent gods able to avoid suffering nor blameless animals acting solely on impulse. On the contrary, to rise above, we must regulate our emotions, ideations, and penchants, eschewing any claim to divinity without descending to an animal state. For no god has ever struggled or exerted effort to attain and retain godhood, nor has any beast. This book explores the complexities of the human condition, offering insight for navigating the trials that bridge the spiritual and primal aspects of our nature. As we contend with the factors beyond our control, we may uncover reserves of inner strength and purpose.
