Outsoaring the Shadow: Atheistic thoughts on life and death

The day will come when the Sun rises but you do not: your last breath will have been made. This is a stark fact. Do you think the day will never come? Do you conduct your life on the presumption that it will not come? But it will come; it is part of the script of life. It may even come today. How does an atheist answer the perennial existential question 'What is the meaning of life?' In this sobering but ultimately compassionate and optimistic book, the author offers a helping hand. Combining elements of ancient Stoic philosophy, academic argumentation, contemplative practices, practical advice and, at times, dark humour, the author weaves a coherent and sympathetic guide to the art of living in the face of mortal angst.
