Book of the Day: Meditations for the Humanist: Ethics for a Secular Age, by A.C. Grayling.

According to Socrates, an unexamined life is not worth living - but why is that so, and do you agree? Do you reflect upon your life? Is your life worth living? Moreover, if an examined life is so important, just what is necessary to achieve it? Socrates' dictum is the guiding principle behind a recent book from A.C. Grayling. For him, a life without examination and reflection is a life without goals or integrity. A person who reflects upon life is one who chooses the nature of that life and lives it directly - and that is what makes life really worth living.
