The Atheist’s Guide to Reality: Enjoying Life without Illusions

By Alexander Rosenberg (NHC Fellow, 2006–07)

Atheism; Reality; Meaning of Life; Wilderness

New York: W. W. Norton & Company, 2010

From the publisher’s description:

We can’t avoid the persistent questions about the meaning of life—and the nature of reality. But science is the only means of answering them. So declares philosopher Alex Rosenberg in this bracing, surprisingly sanguine take on a world without god. The science that makes us nonbelievers, he demonstrates, tells us the nature of reality, the purpose of everything, the difference between right and wrong, how the mind works, even the direction of human history.
