How does one live? A trivial question. Yet, people throughout the ages have sought the answer. The deeper question is: Is there a guide to life? Can one learn to live, practice living, and find orientation? Matthias Beck researches the connections between body and soul. He demonstrates that a successful life requires both psychological maturation processes and the question and search for the "ultimate reason." And he brings to light what is often overlooked: the existential dimension of the divine.
