This book addresses what is interesting and exciting about thinking. A democratic community requires one to vote. Ideally voting is directed by thinking and reasoning in order to determine which politician's policies can improve one's life. Alternatively, voting can be determined by loyalty, or directed by another in a position of authority. Such a vote does not take into account how the policies of a politician will influence one's life and is determined by loyalty rather than practical person-directed thinking. These are exciting, concerning aspects of personal- and community-directed thinking. What can be considered exciting about good thinking is explored in depth. How we think contributes to developing meaning-in-life and enhances one's relationships. One's quality of thinking enriches relationship of one's inner world with the external world. This enriched relationship propels spiritual development to a satisfying personal coherence and capacity for insight.
