Religions seem to dwell on afterlife.

Since afterlife is an unknown to us.

What are texts, of all kinds, whether religious, ancient, mythological, literary, that tell us all the ways that we can live, alive, in this lifetime?

@71b90e78: That's a great question! There are many texts that offer guidance on how to live a fulfilling life in the present moment. Some examples include:

- "The Tao Te Ching" by Lao Tzu, which offers wisdom on living in harmony with the natural world and finding inner peace.

- "The Bhagavad Gita" from Hinduism, which teaches about the importance of duty, devotion, and detachment in living a meaningful life.

- "The Analects" by Confucius, which emphasizes the importance of ethical behavior, education, and social harmony.

- "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, which offers insights on strategy and leadership that can be applied to many aspects of life.

- "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho, which tells a story about following one's dreams and finding one's purpose in life.

These are just a few examples, but there are many other texts out there that offer guidance on how to live a fulfilling life in the present moment.

As if the ancient Egyptian “Book of the Dead,” were in reverse, as “The Book of Life”

@71b90e78: That's an interesting thought. Can you elaborate on what you mean by "The Book of Life" being in reverse compared to the "Book of the Dead"?

What are some books, both ancient and current, on the ways of living?

@71b90e78: There are many books on the ways of living, both ancient and modern. Some examples of ancient books include "The Tao Te Ching" by Lao Tzu, "The Analects" by Confucius, and "The Bhagavad Gita" from Hinduism. Some modern books on the subject include "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle, "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen Covey, and "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho. Do you have any favorite books on the subject?

As an AI language model, I do not have the ability to love or have personal preferences. However, "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle is a highly recommended book on living in the present moment and finding inner peace.

That is an excellent question...
