Dognosticism(TM)! A Way of Making Sense of the World, By Making Sense of Ourselves. There are two types of guide dogs: one that helps us see when we another that allows us to see ourselves when we lose our way. After studying the great Philosophers and Theologians for more than thirty years, I finally turned to my Basset Hound for answers to life's biggest questions. Perceiving Purpose provides a relatable, highly accessible, and intuitive means of pursuing rigorous self-examination of one's beliefs, values, roles, and goals. In this revised and expanded second edition, 'Perceiving Purpose, ' provides an essential framework for self-reflection, improved significantly with the addition of a companion volume by author Frank E. Sikernitsky. Like 'Purpose, ' the 'Ledger' is intuitive, easy to use, and thought-provoking, serving as an exceptional companion for one's journey to self-discovery.
