The Power of Meaning: Crafting a Life That Matters by Emily Esfahani Smith

4.0

This book scratches my itch for secular spirituality blended with a little bit of science. The logic it presents is consistent and comforting. I'm sure in some ways it's oversimplifying things, but that's the natural extension of writing an accessible book on a complex topic. I wonder how some of the examples will age, even as I read it today, it feels like a blast from the past as you can tell it was researched and published pre-pandemic. But I would be interested in reading an update incorporating all the cultural shifts that have happened post 2020.
