The will to live makes life worth living. It keeps us going when the going gets tough. It is the inner strength we summon up when we really need it. This book offers a systematic guide to the principal reasons why we live and why we are here. It contains a wide range of possible answers to the question 'What are we here for?' A list of 36 answers is arranged and analysed systematically. We all face the problem of living and of making the most of our lives. The more answers we consider, the more we can see the possibilities of life and living. Thus, the aim is to bolster the will to live and build up the inner strength needed to combat the self-deprecatory and suicidal responses to life to which we are all prone if we lapse into a negative frame of mind.

This book comprises a miscellaneous collection of my papers and articles published or submitted for publication in American journals and magazines from 2009 to 2012. This edition also contains my paper on Henry Ford: The Visionary Humanist. It argues that Ford was largely responsible for the consumer society of the 20th century because he reacted against the social darwinist views of Andrew Carnegie which served to perpetuate poverty and class distinctions. The contents are all on the subjects of humanism and religion. Some are revised substantially from their original form. Their arguments follow on from those in my two published books: What is Philosophy? (Dunedin Academic Press, 2008), and The Answers Lie Within Us, (Ashgate Publishing, 1998).
