Dr. Mercer write extraordinarily well about how we all try to answer the "big question" of why we are here though our individual evolutions. Its not a "self-help" book but a meditation based in psychiatry, pediatrics and adult medicine of the mind and the ages of man; quotes from great artists and thinkers are used as illustrations, showing us how the more eloquent among us have pondered these fundemental issues thoughout. Its so well written, and a beautifully and artfully thought-out reflection of how a person develops patterns that shape him or can be recognized where need be to reconstruct how he interprets, and so lives, his life. Really great.
