How to Face Life

"How to Face Life" by Stephen S. Wise is a guide promoting a life of meaning, purpose, and spiritual readiness in response to life's challenges. Written as part of "The Art of Life Series," the book looks at youth as a time for shaping ideals, maturity as a period for service and accomplishment, and old age as a chance for reflection and contributing wisdom. Wise argues that each phase presents certain opportunities to make something of your life, stressing the importance of shifting focus from oneself to the broader community as one grows older so that you can truly give back to others. "How to Face Life" hopes to encourage living with reason, honesty, and devoted ideals, surpassing basic self-interest.
