The book talks about various aspects of life, like ethics, rationality, perception, and how these different components are linked together.
When we think about our lives we are mostly concerned about our personal experiences and our memories—good and bad.
This book elucidates how these experiences and memories shape us and create our individual selves.
The most fascinating part of the books is where it explains how scientific aspects are being followed within the framework of this personal evolution.
There are various riveting discussions in the book.
The author writes about an alarming incident where a young girl played a prank on her father. She jumped on him suddenly, thus startling him. As a reflex reaction for self-preservation, the father took his gun and fired at his daughter, killing her on the spot.
Shocking indeed.
But the father did not do this out of spite; it was just his reflex reaction that did not let him assess the situation objectively at first.
Thus the author illustrates the dichotomy that exists between what is real and what is perceived reality.
This book is filled with various such discussions about life and its multiple facets.
The author has been successful in making the readers delve into their own selves and question themselves.
As the author writes at one point in the book, only by open-ended questions can true answers and real understanding be achieved.
The book is now available at Amazon, Flipkart, Ebay and power-publishers.com.
