Book Review of The Power of Meaning: Crafting a Life That Matters

The Power of Meaning: Crafting a Life That Matters
jonni avatar reviewed on + 2 more book reviews


Even though what is told in this book has been said many times before, Emily Esfahani Smith writes in such a way that it seems new, fresh, and compelling.

Smith states that life needs meaning in order to be lived âwellâ. She gives examples of others who have found meaning in their lives, what they did to find that meaning, and why they felt the way they did.

Much of the book is anecdotal but it also includes the thoughts of philosophers, psychologists, clergy and others who are searching for meaning.

The book is beautifully written which made me read it much more slowly than I would normally. I recommend this book if you're looking for a self-help book that is thought provoking and well written.

In the spirit of full disclosure, I received this book in exchange for a fair review.
