A guide to help you in your search,
This review is from: The Search for Meaning (Hardcover)
This book is a wonderful source to help you on your search for meaning in life. It tells us that us that each of can not be expected to be given meaning, but we must find meaning for ourselves. Hence, life becomes an adventure for everyone, where we must contemplate our existence to the extent that we must avoid preoccupation with meaninglessness, separation and having and instead focus on being. With being you can uncover your spiritual quest, intellectual growth, emotional balance and physiological homeostasis. This book forces you to think about your present mode of life. Are you so busy that traffic, long hours, and plane rides consume your life? Do you let yourself buy into that accumulating wealth will bring you happiness? Many more questions are presented and analyzed and this book is recommended for one who is facing difficulty in life or just interested and curious if there is meaning. I can say that after reading this book that I have a much better conception of meaning for myself and approach the forthcoming years of my life with more understanding that life is a puzzle that one can put together if you take the time and patience to carefully think how to put the pieces together.

THREE PERSONS IN SEARCH OF MEANING,
By
This review is from: The Search for Meaning (Paperback)
Thomas H. Naylor, William H. Willimon, & Magdalena R. Naylor
The Search for Meaning (Nashville, TN: Abingdon Press, 1994) 221 pages (ISBN: 0-687-02586-9; hardcover) (Library of Congress call number: BD435.N39 1994) This book grew out of an interdisciplinary college seminar offered by the authors: an international economist, a college chaplain, & a psychiatrist. Many of the problems of the world are traced to meaninglessness. The authors do not offer any easy answers, but they do offer some advice on organizing one's life around one's own goals and purposes. The good life is a slight modification of the middle-class way of life. Being is better than having. We can find meaning in love, work, family, and commitment to purposes beyond ourselves. Other books along this same line will be found on the Internet: "Meaning in Life Bibliography". James Leonard Park, existential philosopher. |
