Guiding Souls: Dialogues On The Purpose Of Life is a novel that deals with the usual questions of life, and the anxieties of living in a world that is apparently filled with elements of sadness. The visionary erstwhile President of India was plagued with such questions every time and decided to answer them suitably through his writings. The book offers a philosophical solution to these problems faced by mankind in general. It talks about avoiding the glossed over concepts of globalization and the associated pessimism and disharmony that the modern world seems to have fallen into. According the authors, the ultimate aim of mankind must be to help in the evolution of planet Earth and make it a more prosperous place. The book brings in instances of some great men who have walked the surface of the earth in order to underscore the philosophy put forth in the book. The book is structured as a conversation between Dr. Kalam and Arun K. Tiwari and makes for an easy and inspiring read.
