Discussion Question 1-Who are we
“As a society, have we sacrificed anything worthwhile by elevating reason, mistrusting emotion, and ignoring the body? If we have, what is it? What have we gained by doing this, and was the sacrifice worth the cost?” (See “For Further Thought” Section).
Discussion Question 2-Are We Masters of Our Fate
“Try to decide to what extent you are the product of your conditioning and the prisoner of your subconscious urges and to what extent you are the master of your fate and the captain of your soul. On what basis will you make the decision?” (See “For Further Thought” Section).
