SUCCESSFUL SEARCH FOR THE MEANING OF LIFE
Bob Brown grew up in a middle-class, mid-western family. He mowed lawns, delivered papers, went to Sunday school and otherwise enjoyed an uneventful, happy childhood. Adolescence was even better: girlfriends, vice-president of his senior class, decent grades and the family car for date nights. Next would come college, a wife, 2.4 children and a thatched roofed cottage.
However, seven seconds of a WWII documentary film showing the execution of an American airman destroyed his idyllic youth. The other kids wondered if the movie would be on the test. Bob wondered: Where was God? Why is life unfair? Who has the answers? How will I recognize the right answers?
Simply Bob: Searching for the Essence is the story of his forty-year effort to find the one, true, last-forever meaning of life for everyone. Now in his early seventies, Bob describes his discovery. His memoir shares lessons from some of the great thinkers, including Michel de Montaigne and Viktor Frankl in an easy to read, thoughtful and engaging way. Readers will learn the one idea that can create meaning for everyone.
