Although the book is presented as a series of the questions humans have asked since we first became self-aware, what's interesting, even remarkable, about this book is that it can also be described as an intellectual and spiritual memoir. In this sense, it reminded me of the books authored by a number of Catholic saints, Augustine, Theresa of Avila, Theresa of Lisieux and others, who struggled with many of these same questions and posited answers that guided them in their life journeys. I don't mean to suggest the book is religious in any sense. It's not. However, it does probe the "eternal" questions and provides the author's answers for her life journey in a concise and accessible framework. It's a well done and even courageous attempt to look at questions many of us don't ever even dare to ask.
