Building on conversations Michael Keller had with his father, Timothy Keller, during the last years of Tim's life, The Stories We Live By unmasks the hidden cultural myths that shape our lives, often without our knowledge.

Every day culture tells us stories about who we are, why we are here, and what our future holds. Our current culture offers seven specific stories that shape our attitudes, our relationships, and our dreams:

1.     Be true to yourself

2.     Live free, just do no harm

3.     Do what makes you happy

4.     It's all about power

5.     Be on the right side of history

6.     Science has all the answers

7.     Morality is relative, but justice matters

These seven stories contain elements of truth, but they are built on flawed assumptions and internal contradictions that leave us feeling hollow, empty, anxious, and disillusioned.
