From one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century, and the author of the international bestseller Small Is Beautiful , the reissue of a timeless treatise on the meaning of living.
A Guide for the Perplexed teaches us to be our own map makers in following our destined path in life\'s journey..
For things out of place tend to get lost; they become invisible and their proper places are filled by other things that should not be there at all and therefore serve to mislead.
The concern of the mapmaker is to find for everything its proper place.
Schumacher argues that we need maps: a map of knowledge and a map of living.
If man can fulfill these obligations, then and only then can he enjoy a truly authentic relationship with the world--and truly know the meaning of living.
Schumacher explores our relation to the world: our obligations--to other people, to the earth, to progress and technology, but most importantly to ourselves.
