About this listen

Random House presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of The Power of Meaning by Emily Esfahani Smith, read by Mozhan Marno.

There is a myth in our culture that to find meaning, you have to travel to a distant monastery or wade through dusty volumes to figure out life's great secret. The truth is there are untapped sources of meaning all around us: right here, right now. Drawing on the latest research in positive psychology; on insights from George Eliot, Viktor Frankl, Aristotle, the Buddha and other great minds, Emily Esfahani Smith identifies four pillars upon which meaning rests: belonging, purpose, storytelling and transcendence.

She also explores how we can begin to build a culture of meaning into our families, our workplaces and our communities.

Inspiring and full of contemporary examples, The Power of Meaning will strike a profound chord in anyone seeking a richer, more satisfying life.

I finished this today and can say that I found the first two chapters quite enlightening, and that the rest was just a bunch of interesting stories. I’m still glad I listened to it.

I really enjoyed this book, it is packed with so many information, revelations and aha moments for me. Highly valuable lessons and stories. I highly recommend this book, is not a general self help/pseudo philosophical, it is a compelling story full of fact and opportunities to self analysis.
