Why remain perplexed about the purpose of existence, when understanding it can bring much joy, despite times of personal anguish? There is a happy reason for everything, which provides a solid foundation for decision making. It's worth knowing about. The author of this little book is a 77 year-old grandfather who had a career in scientific research. In his pondering, he concluded that science primarily describes the nature of existence (the "how"), while religion primarily reveals the purpose of existence (the "why"); none-the-less all truth fits together into one harmonious whole. This little book is for those who search for meaning in life. It has extensive, full-text endnotes for more details and for additional study, plus an index and glossary at the end for hard words.
