Well written with many good ideas for finding meaning and purpose in life without having to cater to a Narcissistic Sociopath Daddy figure. ( ) The author continues to write well and readably, but this book lacked something of the charm of his earlier books. I can't quite put my finger on it, but there was something missing. The quotes he chose from other authors were superb. His writing was readable and lucid. I think it just seemed...too quick. Too thrown together. Less thought provoking. Not a bad book by a long shot, but one that feels more like an appetizer than a main course. I think perhaps the best part of the book was the section on why there is something rather than nothing. The sections on morality were less well developed and less interesting. In addition, there is a bit too much genetic determinism, and in many cases goes beyond the existing evidence to make statements that are a bit too confident. A quick read, and worth the time, but don't expect to be blown away. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Every thinking person wants to lead a life of meaning and purpose. For thousands of years, holy books have told us that such a life is available only through obedience and submission to some higher power. Today, the faithful keep popular devotionals and tracts within easy reach on bedside tables and mobile devices, all communicating this common message: "Life is meaningless without God." In this volume, former pastor Dan Barker eloquently, powerfully, and rationally upends this long-held belief. Offering words of enrichment, emancipation, and inspiration, he reminds us how millions of atheists lead happy, loving, moral, and purpose-filled lives. Practicing what he preaches, he also demonstrates through his own personal journey that life is valuable for its own sake-that meaning and purpose come not from above, but from within.
