A Life Without Pants: Exploring Life's Greatest Paradoxes 

by Somesh Mittal

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My Ratings 4.5/5

Synopsis
The least possible way to find happiness is to look for it. Contradictory enough?

Welcome to the book about paradoxes. From a century-old paradox to a paradox not even a decade old, this book has those contradictory statements that can be proven true either way, but will it be the same if we apply them to our lives?

Isn't ambiguity a leading cause of depression these days? If the answer is contradictory, then shouldn't the question be changed?

Welcome to the true life's paradox.

My Thoughts
Although paradoxes often trip us up, embracing contradictory ideas may actually be the secret to creativity and leadership.
A Life Without Pants: Exploring Life's Greatest Paradoxes by Somesh Mittal take a fascinating look at the hidden meaning What can a life's paradox tell us? Somesh Mittal's ambitious new book explores this hidden web of unimaginably paradox and contradictions. In the process, he unveils a host of paradoxes undermining our understanding of happiness, success and depression contradictions he considers gatekeepers at the frontiers of knowledge. Since well before pants and shirts replaced togas, philosophers have been the main source of wisdom about happiness and the good life. A central tenet of this ancient wisdom is the “paradox of life and happiness. Though we tend to think of concepts in such mutually exclusive pairs as mind-matter, self-other, and nature-nurture, author argues that depression and happiness are not actually separate. Indeed, they are as inextricably connected as the two sides of a coin. Paradoxical Life is thus not only a unique account of our understanding of life and happiness. Authors writing is meticulous and thoughtful. 

The single best thought provoking book I've ever read. I could say more, but I wouldn't know where to begin. It was about so much more than I ever thought it would be when I bought it. And about so much more than I've ever thought about before. 

Happiness and its paradoxes both paradoxes get their power from a contingent factor – being very bad at knowing how to pursue happiness effectively. A Life Without Pants: Exploring Life's Greatest Paradoxes will help you knowing how to pursue happiness effectively.

Highly Recommended!
