Description

“What is the meaning of life?”

This is perhaps one of the biggest and most important questions to ask and answer, not least because the life we live inevitably reflects our answer to it, or lack thereof. But can we answer such a monumental question with the limited knowledge we have, and does the question even have an answer in the first place?

The answer to both questions is "yes." There are certain and universal answers to the question, and we can provide these answers based on what we know about the world. Not only can we live meaningful lives pursuing a deeper purpose without lying to ourselves; we urgently should. These are some of the central claims of this book, the goal of which is to answer this fundamental question, what is the meaning of life?
