Book Reviews of Living in Perspective: Facing the Enigmas of Life
Book Review: Finding the Potential Relationships Between a Variety of Life's Seeming Paradoxes
Summary: 5 Stars
In "Living in Perspective", Joan Gibson shares her own thoughts/beliefs/ideas re: many of lifes paradoxes - showing that they can also be seen from the perspective of being 2 sides of the same coin, &/or as each one counterbalancing the other.
Some of the specific "paradoxes" she discusses include: life & death, good & evil, positive & negative, light & darkness, science & religion, success & failure, chance & destiny, hope & despair, and many, many more.
Although I don't necessarily agree with every thought/belief/idea included in this book, I do find it to be a well written, thought provoking look at another's perspective - another way to consider & think about these aspects of human existence.
