We live in a world that tells us how to live, what matters (and what does and doesn't), and how to get what it says we want. These impersonal, external forces push us around and leave us off-balance, confused, and fatigued. Like actors following a script written by someone else, we find ourselves uncertain of where we have ended up, much less where we want to go, and asking, "What am I supposed to do next?" Among us, however, are those who live differently. The Gift of Lift seeks to unlock their secrets and provide a pathway toward intention, meaning, and purpose.

When the strange, dangerous, and unexpected is routine, it all blends together. Then one incident leaves him unable to remember anything about it at all. For Neil’s husband, Evan Hill, the past is something he actively tries to forget.

Most of the gifted community feels that middlings should be instantly killed. The few who don’t flat out hate them still aren’t excited to be around middlings.

Now Pejman Ghadimi introduces us to the conclusion that critics have called the book that will awaken mankind in the 21st century. While the subjects inside are controversial and even uncomfortable for most to confront, The Gate of Choice stands on its own a powerful way to make sense of our existence here on Earth, its greater purpose, and why we as a civilization and a species are not immune to extinction.
