Summary
Details

What is the meaning of life?

That's the big question that humanity has been asking since the dawn of time. But if we want an answer, we ve been asking the wrong question. What happens if we ask it this way:

What gives meaning to our lives?

Quite a lot, it turns out. Helped by his own research studies, as well as those of other, Micael Dahlen presents scientifically grounded tips about what increases the feeling that our lives have direction and meaning.

In What's the Point Micael Dahlen offers up discoveries new and old, historical anecdotes, and personal experiences trying to get to that very important point. All in the same humorous and lively tone that s become his signature style.

MICAEL DAHLEN is an author and a professor at the Stockholm School of Economics. He s conducted lengthy research into why we do what we do, particularly regarding what brings about happiness.

A little book about a big question.
