To wonder too openly or intensely about the meaning of life can seem a peculiar, ill-fated and faintly ridiculous pastime. It can seem like a topic on which ordinary mortals cannot make much progress. In truth, it is for all of us to wonder about, define and work towards a more meaningful existence.

This book presents a range of areas in which we might seek the meaning of life, 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.

    The view of life not of this age. Maybe my parents. Still relevant and a good read.

Quotes

  • Andreea Elenahas quoted2 years ago
    There are some of us who regularly feel a powerful need to go away and think rather more than is typically allowed or taken to be normal. This business of thinking can seem to us like one of the most meaningful things we ever do. After too long in company, we crave to be alone with our own minds. Raw experience proves too overwhelming, dense, messy, confused or exciting, and, on a regular basis, we long to sort through it, far away from distractions.
  • Andreea Elenahas quoted2 years ago
    Training the body in an athletic pursuit can give us a glorious sense of physical mastery and momentary perfection.
  • Andreea Elenahas quoted2 years ago
    Our encounter with nature calms us because none of our troubles, disappointments or hopes has any relevance to it.
