Mysteries in Broad Daylight Mark Dillof

With apologies to Freud, a cigar is rarely just a cigar. A glass of scotch, a workplace conflict or a new hairstyle are also not simply what they appear to be. Delving deeper, we discern that everything resonates with symbolic significance and offers clues to the profoundest enigmas! Yes, odd though it may sound, a lost golf ball can be a doorway into the mystery of who we really are and the meaning of life. And, a toasted corn muffin, if we are able to fathom its secret import, can lead us to the highest wisdom and enlightenment. In the chapters that follow, we shall decipher our interests, desires, conflicts and anxieties. As we lift the veil of mundane familiarity, the world will emerge as a mystery in broad daylight. We shall then attempt to unravel it. Dr. Mark Dillof's book will introduce you to a Western route to Eastern wisdom. There's no need to meditate or to stand on your head; you need only think deeply about your interests, desires, conflicts and anxieties. Mysteries in Broad Daylight consists of a trilogy of lively dialogues, thirty-five essays, questions for the reader, and instructions on deciphering the mysteries of everyday life. The dialogues derive from Dr. Dillof's pioneering work as a philosophical counselor. Dr. Dillof will help you to relate the insights from this book to your everyday life.
