Ego & Soul: The Modern West in Search of Meaning

Examining the battlegrounds across which a struggle for meaning is being fought—including work, sport, intimacy, shopping, tourism, computers, democracy, and a retreat into nature—this work is a compelling investigation on how modern man lives. Dissecting the intersection between culture and religion, this spiritual study reviews the desperate search for meaning through everyday activities.
