Book review: The Power of Meaning: The true route to happiness by Emily Esfahani Smith
Rating: 5 out of 5
I found this very readable, and very interesting. I’ve made quite a lot of notes to come back and look at.
To find life meaningful one needs belonging + purpose + storytelling + transcendence. Belonging is still something I’m struggling to understand. For self-compassion we need to remember that we share a human condition with everybody else. But yet we need to belong to make our life meaningful. I guess they’re related.
I’m very grateful to Brighton and Hove libraries for stocking books like this.
