New Novel "Chemical Philosophy" by James Patrick Tobin Explores the Meaning of Life, Morality, and Mental Health
Recent release "Chemical Philosophy" from Page Publishing author James Patrick Tobin begins with a brief snapshot of the life of a simple man, Hank Wasserman, a rough and tumble man with the mind of a philosopher, as he attempts to reconcile brain and brawn.
NEWBURY PARK, Calif., June 10, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- James Patrick Tobin, a US Navy veteran and an avid participant in the theater, has completed his new book "Chemical Philosophy": a book that asks questions about the pursuit of happiness, knowledge, and the possibility of finding internal peace despite external stresses.
"Apathy is death, and to find passion is to live," James Patrick Tobin explained when asked about his inspiration for turning to fiction. "However, what of the maddening passions of amorous love and the love of oneself, aspiring toward the zenith of insanity and reckless abandon? Is there a gray area, perhaps foretold of by Siddhartha Gautama, the historical Buddha? Is this abode of peace worth fighting for, and is it attainable? As this topsy-turvy tale of spirituality and discovery unfolds, we follow the lives of people resigned to live in the black and white, and we follow the utter destruction of the ego by heavenly fire—proof enough, perhaps, that to burden oneself with the attachments of the world can indeed lead to antithetical nirvana."
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, James Patrick Tobin's novel at first brings readers into the world of a confused man whose desire to lose all desire and gain a contentment outside of material possessions leads him to the brink of a psychotic break. This discussion of mental health is essential, as it ties in to the essential studies and research performed in contemporary society.
To join Hank Wasserman on his intellectual, spiritual, and physical journey, readers can purchase "Chemical Philosophy" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes and Noble.
