Through the centuries  many eminent figures have opined on the meaning of life. Based on a recent study of the subject  this book offers 365 astute observationsfrom Muhammad Ali and Maya Angelou to Oscar Wilde and Tennessee Williams. Richard Kinnier  psychology professor at Arizona State University  has analyzed quotations from hundreds of eminent figures to determine their thoughts on this eternal question. Ten themes emerged from this study of lifes meaning: Life is to be enjoyed; We are here to help others; The meaning of life is a mystery; Life is meaningless; We are here to serve God; Life is a struggle; We are here to contribute to society; We are here to seek wisdom and self-actualization; We must create meaning for ourselves; Life is absurd. Using the study as its basis  this compendium offers up an eclectic selection of quotations from \"the Great and the Good.\" Some are profound  others are wittyall of them are true.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45951528009781,"sku":"ByrdShop_0954510372","price":66.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780954510374.jpg?v=1788112124","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-meaning-of-life-according-to-the-great-and-the-good-9780954510374","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
