Sample Book Insights:

#1 The human condition is a tragic one. Life has no meaning from a cosmic perspective, and our lives have no broader point or purpose. Our quality of life is as poor as it is. Death does not help us overcome our cosmic meaninglessness, and it only makes things worse.

#2 Death is bad, and while some have tried to cope by denying it, there is no avoiding it. The human predicament is that we are mortal, and we must face this fact.

#3 There is a distinction between optimism and pessimism in the realm of the facts. An optimist believes that a terrible fate will not befall him, whereas a pessimist believes that he will fall victim to that fate. They both agree that the fate is terrible, but they have differing views about whether it will occur.

#4 Optimism and pessimism are both matters of degree rather than binary positions. If some feature of the human condition is negative, it can be more or less negative. If some other feature is positive, then, similarly, it can be more or less positive.
