Why? Answers to Life's Most Important Question

Mandeep Khera
Author House (2008)
ISBN 9781438911977
Reviewed by Kam Aures for RebeccasReads (11/08)

Have you ever wondered why certain events occur?  What causes things to happen to certain people but not to others?  How is it that a young child can die in an airplane crash but a convicted murderer can live to a ripe, old age?  Why do some people fall victim to natural disasters such as hurricanes and tsunamis whereas others remain untouched?  What are the reasons behind these events?  Are they random?  Are they pre-determined?  Are they destiny?  Why did God cause these things to occur, or did he?

These and other questions are at the heart of Mandeep Khera’s book “Why? Answers to life’s most important question.”  The book has lofty goals, as stated in the Prologue, as it “is intended to provide readers with the meaning of God, religion, death, life, happiness, the power of positive thinking, a parallel Universe, and other thought-provoking concepts.”    The author attempts to address some of these issues providing us with insight of both a religious and scientific nature. 

When I first read the main concept of the book I was a little skeptical as to how someone could expect to answer such important questions, especially in a book as compact as one with only 140 pages.  However, once I began reading the book, I really enjoyed the thought-provoking discussions of these issues as well as the act of looking at certain issues from different viewpoints other than my own.  Khera makes many good points and has some very convincing arguments as to why he has come up with the answers that he has.

The author’s writing is very clear and flows smoothly.  “Why?” is a book that the average person will be able to read and comprehend.  Khera illustrates his points with examples that we are all familiar with and can easily relate to.  I think that anyone can benefit from the majority of the advice that he gives, particularly the “Thirteen Steps for a Contented Life” at the end of the book.  “Why? Answers to life’s most important question” is an excellent book that will stimulate your mind and provide instruction on how to live a more happy, positive life.
