This set of essays explore is the problems of remaining human in the 20th century.

By telling his own story and examining his life experience in mythic and spiritual terms, Sam Keen return autobiography to the realm of theology and philosophy. This is the book that inspired readers to tell their own stories, chart their own spiritual journeys and reclaim the sacred adventure of their own lives.

This book of personal essays is very much written in the diction of the late 1960s but should not be dismissed or taken lightly because of that. Keen was searching for a faith or philosophy grounded in his experience that would also offer holistic integration (see?) of his life and connection to others. His insights, such as that we cannot live in the present moment without remembering our past and hoping for our future, are sharp and true. ( )
