It describes interesting aspects of Astronomy, History, Philosophy and Life, using simple terms that do no require prior knowledge of these matters. Several natural phenomena are examined and many scientific aspects of our environment and of life in general, are presented. The book is full of fascinating information that effectively makes it a short course in basic science and astronomy and an imaginative study of many aspects of human nature. A short section on humour provides a relaxing variation from the seriousness of the technical subjects and the controversial nature of the human aspects.

It's not all about the money; the key to true riches Leo Tolstoy said, "Nobody knows where the human race is going. The highest wisdom, then, is to know where you are going." Yet many today chase the false rabbits of success: status, luxury, reputation and material possessions. In the quest to "have it all," our lives often lack real meaning and purpose. Beyond Wealth is the antidote. New York Times bestselling author Alexander Green takes things right down to brass tacks: We are here for a short time. Knowledge is limitless. Therefore, the most critical knowledge is not any particular skill but rather wisdom about "how to live." Fortunately, men and women have had several thousand years to think about what it means to live "the good life." And the answers found here, from Plato and Aristotle to Mahatma Gandhi and Stephen Hawking, will both surprise and delight you. Beyond Wealth provides insightful commentary on the most important aspects of our lives: love, work, honor, trust, freedom, death, fear, truth, beauty and other timeless issues. The book is both a thought provoking read and the ideal gift, guaranteed to ennoble, uplift and inspire.
