But philosophy, at its best, is a joyous profession. Philosophers never stop wondering, why? They ask the most profound and universal questions: \"Why am I here?\" \"Does life have a meaning?\" \"Is there a God?\" \"Do I have an immortal soul?\" \"What happens when I die?\" Philosophers have the joy of re-living the wonder of a child.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAerobics for the Mind: Practical Exercises in Philosophy that Anybody Can Do\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e is a book for anyone who still has that unique, childlike sense of wonder.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Potts is Professor of Philosophy at Methodist University in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
