Greek publisher Klidarithmos is very excited to publish the book:

“So many books have been written about the fluid meaning of life, but none of them has ever come so close before as A Wonderful Life does. Martela creates an intimacy with the reader as if two friends enjoy discussing about all-time philosophical issues. But what makes reading exceptional is that we really get answers! With examples and case studies we reach little by little, without realizing, to the meaning of life”.
– Asimina Giannopoulou, Klidarithmos, Greece

• Is happiness a worthy goal?
• What is the foundation for meaning in a secular society?
• Is life an existential void?

Part prescriptive and part armchair philosophy book, A WONDERFUL LIFE is accessible to everyone, from the well-read scholar to the apprentice as well as anyone curious about how to extract the greatest meaning and sense of purpose from their existence.
