Alone by Lee Soon (5 results)

Condition: New. Print on Demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Why do people flood into churches during disasters, only to disappear weeks later?Why do humans, religious or not, instinctively reach toward something beyond themselves in moments of crisis?Are You Alone? is a philosophical and humanistic exploration of humanity's deepest longing - the universal impulse to lean on something greater than ourselves. Drawing from psychology, philosophy, history, and comparative religion, this book traces the arc of human dependence from ancient Egyptian temples to modern YouTube algorithms, from Freud and Viktor Frankl to the Gilgamesh Epic and the streets of post-tsunami Japan.Written for believers and skeptics alike, this book does not preach. It observes. It asks honest questions about why every human civilization has built systems of meaning, and why none of them have fully satisfied the hunger they were designed to fill. Along the way, it examines Buddhism, Islam, Confucianism, shamanism, secular ideologies, prosperity theology, and the quiet religion of self-improvement - revealing that beneath every tradition lies the same restless human heart.The journey leads, unexpectedly, to a figure who refused to fit any religious mold - who rejected the crowd's expectations, offered no easy comfort, and yet spoke directly to the five hungers no philosophy has ever fully answered: meaning, true connection, forgiveness, a new beginning, and something beyond death.Are You Alone? is not a book that pushes you through any door. But by the last page, you may find yourself standing in front of one. . , . . . ., , , ., , , , . , , , . . . . . . , . , , , . . , . This item is printed on demand.
