In the rush to meet the challenges and pressures of life, we don't always allow ourselves the time to contemplate the meaning of our realities. Why are we here? What do we hope to accomplish with our lives? Where are we headed, and what is genuinely important? We live in an exciting, fast-paced world that can provide us with many good things. On some level, however, we find ourselves feeling stuck in a rat race that lacks ultimate meaning.
This book sheds light on the obstacles of the rat race, stimulates thought about the direction of our lives, and helps us draw on our strengths to get beyond the mundane. About the Author: Rabbi Marc D. Angel, Ph.D., rabbi of the historic Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue (Shearith Israel) of New York City, is the author or editor of 18 books and numerous articles on religion and faith. A community activist and recipient of awards from national chaplaincy, educational, and rabbinic federations, he lectures widely throughout the US.
