Face the mystery of life with courage and a bold, living spirit.
This edition presents a brisk meditation on why we value living over merely avoiding death. It argues that real courage comes from embracing the risks of life and using our time to make meaningful work, rather than staying safe incomfort or routine.
- Explores the idea that life is the “Permanent Possibility of Sensation” and that living fully beats merely preserving health.
- contrasts fear and prudence with the drive to act, pursue goals, and contribute to the world.
- weaves in reflections on notable lives and the choice to keep moving toward purpose, even in the face of death.
- invites readers to consider how a bold, engaging approach to life can shape character and action.
Ideal for readers who enjoy thoughtful essays on how to live bravely, with sense and purpose, in a world where death is never far away.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
