: Intelligence makes you a "living," but intellect makes you a "life".

Unlike animals, humans have the "dilemma of choice," which requires a developed intellect to navigate correctly.

However, the book does not leave the reader in despair. It offers a path to rehabilitation. The intellect, unlike the body, does not age or wither; it simply atrophies from lack of use. The solution proposed is the ancient practice of selfless action and logical analysis. By questioning our own attachments and developing a value system based on reason rather than impulse, we can revive the intellect. This restoration is what leads to true success—not just material wealth, but peace of mind.
