Man's Basic Purpose: From Reproduction to Self-Actualization

Check out, "Man's Basic Purpose: From Reproduction to Self-Actualization," @ amazon.com, by Jay Thomas Willis. It is contended in this book that much of the literature elaborates on a rather religious explanation of "Man's Basic Purpose" for being on Earth. One religious explanation says that "Man's Basic Purpose" is to worship, praise, and glorify God. It is the author's view that we were not put here to glorify God. Here a more secular view of Man's Basic Purpose" is given. One secular view says that his purpose is to reproduce. The author goes from reproduction as a purpose for man's existence to self-actualization. Self-actualization and creativity are the highest purposes for man's existence.
