The Power of MeaningRecommendations
About the book
The search for meaning may greatly deepen our lives and is considerably more gratifying than the pursuit of personal happiness, according to this intelligent and moving book. In our culture, there is a notion that finding meaning is some arcane quest that requires you to fly to a faraway monastery or leaf through dusty tomes in order to discover life's great secret. The truth is, right now, there are untapped sources of meaning all around us. Emily Esfahani Smith lays out the four pillars upon which meaning relies, based on the latest research in positive psychology, ideas from George Eliot, Viktor Frankl, Aristotle, the Buddha, and other great minds, and interviews with seekers of meaning.
