My next book Love and Its Disappointment: The meaning of life, therapy and art also deals with life's challenge in a manner that you may find interesting. Warm wishes - David Dear dibyadeep

I agree with the sentiment of what you have written and have in fact written about the question ‘what is enlightenment for?’ in my book The New Buddhism. My next book
Love and Its Disappointment: The meaning of life, therapy and art
also deals with life’s challenge in a manner that you may find interesting.
