A practical guide to one of the greatest questions we will ever face, this book considers a range of options for where meaning is to be found, including love, family, friendship, work, self-knowledge and nature. We learn why some things feel meaningful while others don’t, and consider how we might introduce more meaning into our activities.
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.
