The title caught my eye in Bookman's for this one, and I'm so glad it did. I didn't expect anything nearly so comprehensive as what I got: a summary of what many of the major philosophers through the ages and around the world thought about many of the big questions that still plague so many of us today, which we now often medicate away rather than attempting to discover whether our emotional turmoil is actually a symptom of a problem that needs solving. While from my worldview, I think the Bible answers all of these questions far better than any of history's greatest thinkers, I still see the value in reading widely and seeing from multiple perspectives. I took copious notes.
