Answer Life’s Questions with A New Perspective

"...200 questions that can truly impact your life in positive ways...to help us bring meaning and exploration back into our daily lives.“ —Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of Love, Medicine, and Miracles

Filled with questions, inspiring anecdotes, and guided meditations, Life's Big Questions invites readers to examine their beliefs about spirituality and learn new ways to encounter sacred moments.

A perceptive guidebook on life. Why does evil exist? What is the meaning of death and dying? What can meditation and mindfulness do for you? When should you begin to think about your sacred destiny? Do miracles actually exist? This book about the big stuff aims to answer all of life’s questions—or at least some of them. 

A book about a bigger perspective. While you may recognize author Jonathan Robinson from his appearances on the Oprah Winfrey Show, he is also a bestselling author and professional psychotherapist. He spends his days thinking deeply about life’s questions—and he is ready to share his thoughts with you. A book of meditations, Life’s Big Questions approaches the answers to life's most sacred questions from both a spiritual and a therapeutic viewpoint. 

Inside Life’s Big Questions, you’ll find:

• Answers to some of the most fundamental of life’s questions—from a fresh perspective
• Examples and suggestions on new ways to encounter the sacred in your daily life
• Meditations on self love, the meaning of life, how to let go, and more

If you liked books about meditation, mindfulness, and life’s questions such as The Purpose Driven Life, The Book of Secret Wisdom, or Cosmic Queries, you’ll love Life’s Big Questions.

Excerpt from the Author Preface

Although the world has changed a lot since this book first came out, the “big questions” of life are still the same. We are still enriched when we explore topics related to love, spirit, and meaning. In addition, there’s a lot to be learned when we ask our friends and family members questions that connect to important subjects. Unfortunately, exploring such questions can be harder than ever because we are all subject to WMDs (Widgets of Mass Distraction). We all have too much to do, and too many ways to distract ourselves from meaningful connections and conversations. Luckily, this book can help. Each of the 200 questions and numerous anecdotes are meant to make it easy to explore important subjects with friends, family, and even new connections.

This book came about when, in a moment of deep meditation, I heard an inner voice clearly say to me, “Take notes.” Well, I found a pen and paper, and out came 200 questions. Previously, I had never done what could be called “channeling” before, and I never had a strange voice in my head give me such a command. Fortunately, I wrote down what this strange inner voice told me to write down. However, once all the questions were written, I was unsure what to do with them. The thought occurred that it could be a book, so I wrote to the editors at Conari Press, and they quickly wrote back that they loved the idea of a book of “big questions.”

Every now and then, I get emails from people who tell me this book somehow transformed their lives. The most common thing I read is that these questions helped create a lasting and intimate connection with a friend or family member. Indeed, when we find someone to explore life’s big questions with, it creates a deep bond. We all want more meaning in our lives, and asking yourself or your friends these questions can be a powerful way to move in the direction of greater connection, peace, and insight. It is my hope that, as you explore these questions with people you care about, your relationships will deepen and your wisdom will be enriched.
