Description

What gives life meaning? A question we’ve all circled – sometimes in quiet moments, sometimes mid-commute. This little book doesn't promise all the answers, but it does offer something better: the tools to ask the right questions.

From the thinkers at The School of Life, The Meaning of Life explores the threads that make life feel rich – love, work, friendship, philosophy, nature and more. It’s a pocket-sized guide to the big stuff, helping you tune into what really matters and gently nudging you toward a life with more depth and self-knowledge.

Thought-provoking yet practical, it’s ideal for anyone who likes their philosophy with a side of quiet reflection and their books with a beautiful cover.
