Knowing the meaning of one's existence is important to live with motivation, satisfaction, joy and, in general, to make life worthwhile. Several studies even indicate that people with a strong sense of their life purpose enjoy better health and live longer. Yet Western culture seems increasingly unable to answer the question of why live? How do we face the lack of existential meaning? Is it enough to center your own life in the pursuit of happiness? What can we do to lead a more relevant and meaningful life? With an entertaining and accessible tone, Professor Frank Martela draws on philosophy, psychology and literature to explore the great existential questions in the context of modern life and offer a new model of vital meaning directed to our shared humanity. A very special guide to read, reread, enjoy and discover simple ways to live a relevant existence, here and now.
