— Emily Esfahani Smith, author of The Power of Meaning: Finding Fulfillment in a World Obsessed With Happiness “The search for life’s meaning is perhaps the most important quest we can undertake. And for any quest, it’s essential to have a guide. Philosophically probing yet eminently readable, A Wonderful Life is a book you can refer to again and again on your journey toward purpose.” — Daniel H. Pink, New York Times bestselling author of When, Drive, To Sell Is Human, and A Whole Mind “We are happiest not when we have more things or accolades but when we have more meaning, research shows.
