Who this is
“He looked at the same world as everyone else and asked the forbidden question — what if existence itself doesn't pay? — and then, astonishingly, offered exits: art, compassion, and letting go.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“Beneath the orderly world of appearances there is one blind, striving force — the Will — and because we are that force, life is endless craving that can never be finally satisfied.”
