_pickle_'s review against another edition

5.0
A powerful book that focussed on something very universal; life's purpose. I took a lot from his conclusion that we can only define our own purpose, no one else can define another's purpose. His views on suffering as a key and essential part of our lives also lit something inside me. Deep and moving. I will say that it is quite unfortunate that he refers to homosexual relationships as "sexual perversion," but we can understand that as a relic of the era in which the book was written. It is similarly disappointing that he uses 'men' to mean people.
