The Power of Meaning
Categories: Self-Help
The Power of Meaning (2017) is a book by journalist Emily Esfahani Smith. Drawing on psychology, philosophy, literature and interviews, she argues that seeking meaning offers a deeper and more lasting path to fulfillment than the pursuit of happiness. Smith describes four pillars of a meaningful life, belonging, purpose, storytelling and transcendence, and shows how people and communities cultivate them. She presented the ideas in her TED talk "There's More to Life Than Being Happy."
