Chapters

Good morning, friends. Arthur Brooks here. Today is Tuesday, the 31st of March, and that's launch day for The Meaning of Your Life: Finding Purpose in an Age of Emptiness, my brand new book. I wrote it for you. I wrote it for me. I wrote it for anybody who's trying to find a way to make life more meaningful. This is a book that gives you the 6 ways to do that in the next 6 months and really create a strategy for how we can bring more meaning to the lives of other people as well. I hope that you find it useful. I hope you go out and get a copy, and if you like it, get a copy for a graduate in your life who's really starting out on on their life journey or for anybody who might feel a little aimless and can turn that sense of, I don't know, something's missing into an opportunity for love and happiness and how we can lift up the world with the meaning of our lives. Go get the book. Thank you for doing it. And I can't wait to see you soon.
