註釋This book wrestles with the question of free will, which the author supports versus a deterministic vision of the universe. Following William James, the author resolves the issue by applying pragmatic ideas tested in reality. The core idea of this work is that true ideas are judged by where they lead us. Unlike materialism, this view is open to a pluralistic universe. This includes a spiritual dimension, in which our consciousness has a transmissive capacity, an ability to pick up inspiration from outside itself. All of this serves as a guide to a richer life, in which we experience harmony with the world by means of "agreeable leading." Last, the author wishes that this was a book he would have read when he was young, and we invite you to do the same.
