Your life does have meaning - and you can find it.

In The Meaning of Your Life, social scientist and happiness expert Arthur Brooks reveals how modern society and technology have rewired our brains, making it harder to find purpose. This growing sense of emptiness, especially among young people, is real and can be devastating. But there is hope.

With compassion and practical advice, Brooks provides a roadmap to rediscovering meaning. You'll take a test to understand your current place on the journey, learn evidence-based strategies to rewire your brain and develop a new vocabulary for your desires.

Most importantly, Brooks will show you where to search for the transcendence, vocation and significance that are your birthright as a human being. 'What is the meaning of my life?' is not an unanswerable question, but the road to an answer is a long one. The Meaning of Your Life is your essential guide for the journey.
