\*New York Times bestseller list

From the best-selling author of Strength to Strength, this book offers a comprehensive explanation of how the modern world makes finding meaning so difficult, plus a plan for discovering your deepest purpose.\\If you find it difficult to define the meaning of life, you are not alone. Millions today describe a growing feeling of emptiness, a lack of purpose and significance. The reason is clear: accelerating cultural, economic, and technological changes have reshaped our brains, reducing their ability to perceive depth and purpose.In The Meaning of Your Life, sociologist and happiness expert Arthur C. Brooks learns how to resist these changes and find the meaning you need to live a happy and fulfilling life. Drawing on the latest science, he offers practical, evidence-based strategies for eliminating powerful tendencies and personal habits that distract you from your purpose.Drawing on the great philosophers and traditions of the world's religions, he shows how everyone can—and should—address life's most important and mysterious questions, and offers a roadmap that helps even the most skeptical people find a transcendent spiritual life, filled with deep love and true calling.

"What is the meaning of my life?" It is not an unanswered question, but rather the beginning of a journey into unexplored corners of your consciousness. "The meaning of your life" is your guide on this journey.
