What is the purpose of my life? Where was I before I was born? What happens to me when I die? Such questions, which today are mostly asked by monks and small children, are more often ridiculed than answered in our times. Science claims it is not responsible for these matters and considers everything that cannot be seen as non-existent. The churches, which promise us a better life after death, also fail to convince us. In light of this general wandering between pious promises and dry materialism, this book succeeds in presenting the universal rules of life, as described by wisdom teachings throughout history, in an engaging and clear manner. Universal truths that help us step out of the hamster wheel, rediscover the meaning of our lives, and gain an idea of what true happiness really is.
