How can we live a meaningful life in a society that has lost its way?
More than 25 years ago, Josep María Verrica left his life as a university professor and moved to live with the Shuar people in the Ecuadorian Amazon. There, far away from agendas, consumerism, and Western comforts, he discovered something that has stuck with him ever since: the more comfortable life becomes, the easier it is for one to lose sight of the true purpose of one's existence.This book represents the culmination of a life devoted to exploring the inner world. Through a clear and deeply personal lens, Vericla reflects on the loss of meaning that pervades our society, and addresses some of the greatest questions of existence:
Why does death terrify us? What happens when we lose touch with the transcendent? How can we stop living in stagnation? In its pages, the book speaks about intuition, the power of language, feelings, love, rituals, and expanded states of consciousness, calling us to live with wisdom, presence, and authenticity.
