We tend to begin our lives with a deeply unrepresentative experience: that of being surrounded by people who care to an extraordinary extent about us. Then, of course, we grow up and are inducted into a horrific reality: we exist in a world of astonishing indifference to almost everything we are, think, say or do.
We may not feel we have meaningful lives, but it’s central to affirm that the concept of a meaningful life is eminently plausible and achievable for all of us – and that it comprises of elements that can be clearly named and gradually fought for. | | | The Meaning of Life [Paperback & Audiobook] – Out Now | A practical and hugely thought-provoking guide to one of the greatest questions we will ever face, The Meaning of Life is now available in paperback and audiobook.
This book explores a range of options for where the meaning of life is to be found, including love, family, friendship, work, self-knowledge and nature. We learn why certain things feel meaningful while others don’t, and consider how we might introduce more meaning into our activities. | | | |
