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 considers a range of options for where the meaning of life can be found, including love, family, friendship, work, self-knowledge and nature.

We learn why certain things feel meaningful while others do not, and consider how we might introduce more meaning into our activities.

What follows is a hugely thought-provoking and practical guide to one of the greatest questions we will ever face
