Lesson 1. The Book for the Now Generation

Our generation is insecure

Our generation is insecure in spite of the success of science and technology. We are faced with a mountain of unanswered questions:

• How can the wars and sinister arms race be stopped?

• What should we do about climate change and environmental pollution?

• Will there be another pandemic?

• Is it possible to see beyond economic uncertainty?

• How can personal, everyday problems, such as stress, fear, loneliness, marital and educational problems, be tackled successfully?

Trite, but persistent questions:

• What is the meaning of life? 

• Why am I alive?

• Where did I come from? 

• Where am I going to?
