'Life-transforming' Susan Cain, author of Quiet Searching for
happiness is overrated, learn to find meaning instead There is a
persistent myth in our culture that in order to lead a fulfilling
life we must pursue happiness at all times. In her groundbreaking
work, Emily Esfahani Smith explains that it is actually the search
for meaning that will bring fulfilment. She argues that meaning is
all around us in vast untapped resources, and that the key is
finding it in the right here, right now. Her inspiring TED Talk on
the same topic has been viewed over a million times. To explore how
we can change our lives for the better, she draws on the latest
research in psychology, sociology, philosophy and neuroscience, as
well as insights from figures in literature and history such as
George Eliot, Viktor Frankl, Aristotle and the Buddha. She shows us
how cultivating connections to others, identifying and working
toward a purpose, telling stories about our place in the world, and
seeking out mystery, can immeasurably deepen our lives. To do this
she visits remarkable people and places, such as a tight-knit
fishing village in the Chesapeake Bay, a dinner where young people
gather to share their experiences of profound loss, and a drug
kingpin who finds his purpose in helping people get fit. She
explores how we might begin to build a culture that leaves space
for introspection and awe, cultivates a sense of community, and
imbues our lives with meaning.
