Going Deeper: How To Make Sense Of Your Life When Your Life Makes No Sense is a guide to the seemingly challenging search for the answers to two questions: Who are you? and What is your life purpose? To facilitate the initiation of this very individualized and personalized journey, the author has created the fictionalized story of a man named Larry who examines the answers to these questions. Larry, along with his dog Zeus and a number of very surprising, interesting, and astute new friends, learns to define, feel, and live the answers to these life defining/changing questions.

Going Deeper reads like a fiction novel. The story is smoothly written, intriguing at every step of Larry's journey, and completely entertaining. The characters are unique and extremely well developed. Any reader will find it difficult to put this book down until he or she has completed the story.

Nonetheless, the content contained within this story is much more significant and thought provoking than the average fiction novel. This book impartially examines a wide variety of religious, spiritual, scientific, and psychological ways of thinking while urging the reader to determine for him or herself which one or what combinations of these ways of thinking deeply resonate within him or herself. Moreover, these concepts are presented in a very Socratic fashion, with the main character asking questions or being asked questions and then working through the answers. This method further compels the reader to begin his or her own inner dialogues, disagreeing, agreeing, or learning from each concept discussed. A extremely profound, life altering book.
