Understanding Life:: Context is Everything

Understanding is a process that is largely independent of subject…Whether you are trying to understand the mating habits of the pygmy three-toed sloth or life itself, the process is pretty much the same. Gary Moreau, extensive global traveler and successful businessman, doesn’t claim to have the answers to life—what one person could? But he has spent a lot of time thinking about the questions that inform his approach to life. This has led him to realize that everyone has the power to understand their own lives with the implementation of a few simple rules. Moreau dedicates a whole chapter to each rule—to each practice that provides context to life—covering topics such as listening, priorities, intent, time, and touch. Bridging Western and Eastern cultures and philosophies, Understanding Life doesn’t try to provide a one-size-fits-all template for living, but rather it encourages readers to identify the uniquely individualized external factors they encounter and the personal and intricate internal values they use to navigate these factors. Forget what you think you know about life’s meaning and your connection to it. Understanding Life will have you appreciating the dichotomy—the good and the bad—in life in a truly transformational way.
