    About this ebook

    What's Life And What's Life's Purpose?

    Life is a mystery and a challenge to us all. Life can be both harsh and unforgiving in this hostile world. And life can have exhilarating good times and distressing bad times.

    It would seem that we all need to bear the seemingly unbearable stresses of life. And we all need to find the strength to deal with all the uncertainties and vagaries of life.

    So, how do we manage life's many stresses? How do we de-stress and re-energise? And how do we make life better?

    These are the eternal questions that are in seek of answers.
