What is the meaning of Life? Rudolf Steiner, the Austrian philosopher and modern spiritual master, discusses this ancient enigma with directness and offers profound answers. Steiner addresses themes related to health, reincarnation, destiny, luck, and the trials of modern life. The variety of topics address the most practical and fundamental issues that confront us in modern life: growth, decay and reincarnation; human participation in evolution; the illusions of illness and the feverish pursuit of health; luck; psychological distress and the birth pangs of the consciousness soul; and how to listen to the spirit. This book is a treasure of wisdom for helping us to better understand our lives and to find meaning in the world.
