Book Overview
Each year, Americans spend billions of dollars and countless hours searching for happiness. So why do so many of us still feel aimless and alienated? In The Power of Meaning, Emily Esfahani Smith shows us we've been chasing the wrong goal. It's not happiness that makes life worth living-it's meaning. Drawing on the latest research in psychology, as well as insights from philosophy and literature, Smith brings to life the four pillars of meaning-belonging, purpose, storytelling, and transcendence-and introduces us to extraordinary and ordinary people working to build those pillars in their own lives. Finally, she explores how we might begin to create cultures of meaning within our communities and institutions, helping all of us lead richer, more satisfying lives. Book jacket.
