Upward Journey

About the Book

It is a question everyone embarking upon his or her journey through life must face, namely, how can I live a happy life in the face of a world indiff erent at best and sometimes hostile? In this brilliant new book, Upward Journey, George Tomezsko poses this question and proceeds to answer it via a series of essays wherein he dares to dance the tide and defi es the forces of political correctness with a smile on his face, resolve in his heart, and clarity of mind. This veritable feast of ideas is a real treat for a soul looking to go beyond contemporary and fashionable opinions in search of real comfort, hope and inspiration. As such, it serves as a nice introduction to the fi eld of philosophy.
