The Power of Meaning

Finding Fulfillment in a World Obsessed with Happiness

Emily Esfahani Smith

Discover the power of meaning in your life with this inspiring and wise book. Emily Esfahani Smith argues that the pursuit of personal happiness is not as fulfilling as the search for meaning. Drawing on insights from great minds like Aristotle and the Buddha, Smith outlines the four pillars of meaning: belonging, purpose, storytelling, and transcendence. Through interviews and personal experiences, she shows that there are untapped sources of meaning all around us. This book will strike a profound chord in anyone seeking a richer, more satisfying life.
