Rather than trying to prove that we are free, Wember describes a path which can enable us to become free. This freedom, unrelated to political or other forms of outer freedom, depends on inner activity. We can only become free, he argues, if we enliven our forces of will.

The author brings his ideas alive by relating them to practical, everyday situations.

This book offers great assistance to anyone searching for their next step in personal development. Ideal for young people - for whom it is primarily written - it also provides much useful stimulation for anybody interested in philosophical and life questions.

DR VALENTIN WEMBER is a Steiner Waldorf school teacher in Stuttgart, Germany and a writer and lecturer.
