Love, Life and Work
Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Thomas Cormode and PG Distributed Proofreaders
"Love, Life & Work" by Elbert Hubbard is a philosophical treatise articulated through a series of essays and reflections written in the early 20th century. This work expounds on the delicate balance between personal fulfillment and the ethical considerations of living harmoniously alongside others. Hubbard delves into the complexities of happiness, morality, expression, and the role of religion, offering insights that challenge conventional views and inspire self-reliance as a means to achieve a higher quality of life. The opening of the book introduces the reader to Hubbard's vision of living radiant lives characterized by health, cheerfulness, and freedom from negativity. In the initial chapters, he emphasizes the importance of personal expression and the dangers of repression, while also exploring the tension between the desires of the human spirit and the constraints of societal norms. Through a heartfelt prayer, he outlines his aspiration to uplift humanity by serving as a positive example rather than imposing his beliefs on others. The beginning of the book sets the stage for a profound examination of how individual lives can reflect broader societal changes, a theme that resonates throughout Hubbard's essays.
