A WONDERFUL LIFE: Insights for Finding a Meaningful Existence
Harper Design, 24^th of March 2020, 200 pp.In this engagingly insightful book, Frank Martela – one of the only academic experts who has contributed to both the philosophical and psychological research on meaning in life – takes you on a voyage through the history, philosophy, and psychology of meaningfulness and worthy living.The journey starts in the 19th century, where it is revealed why and how the Scottish author Thomas Carlyle came to be the first person in history who actually used the phrase »meaning of life.»The life stories of Carlyle and Russian author Leo Tolstoy serve as representative examples of the transformation that this book aims to guide you, the reader, through. Finally, an answer is provided to the question of meaning that is compatible with latest scientific knowledge about human nature, yet still both inspiring and actionable.

PS! Did you know that the deadline for applying for FILI grants for translations (up to 70% covered) and children’s books production (up to 1000€) is on the 1st of February? See more info here.
