A Big Picture offers readers a series of brief, non-technical essays on the existential foundations that support us human beings, all the way from the Universe, itself; to the Earth; to our Homo sapiens natures, bodies, and psyches. Readers are encouraged to build on what they learn from the essays—and from their own answers to the author's self-reflection questions—to form more textured pictures of who they are and how they can develop in the realms of spirituality, human compassion, work, politics, sports, and the Arts.
