The Greatest of All Sciences: To Know One's Self - Anthony M. Coniaris - Bog

There is a prayer that says, "Grant us, O Lord, the knowledge of ourselves without which we can neither rightly repent nor seek to amend our lives." The purpose of this book is to help us find our authentic self in the Trinity through relationships (to God and man), self-examination, inner stillness, humility, repentance, and the renunciation of the passions, especially vainglory. The most painful part of being human is that we are strangers to ourselves. Man can know his true self but only with God and in God, in whom we discover our truest and best self.
