Understanding Life

A Commonsense Guide to Reality



Practical philosophy is roughly the following:

How to think — what is real — how to live.

Why make it more complex?

Gain clarity per purpose and reality through well-categorized foundations that encourage discussions vs. the typical scatter gun approach.

But let’s be clear.

Simple answers are mostly for selling books.


Understanding Life knows that there is no one simple answer to life — but rather, there are many simple answers to life. A robust structure for these answers is a crucial goal to accomplish.

Readable. Concise. Useful. The core elements of reasoning, evolution, secularism/(non)theism, behaviour, motivation and purpose. Plenty of content accompanied by appropriate depth and clarity.


This is an invaluable resource for generating presentation topics and the eventual preparation of talks for same.

An honest no-silver-bullet approach to life.
