Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 A meaningful life is close to, but importantly different from, a happy life. It is a mix of our higher capacities, such as tenderness, care, connection, self-understanding, sympathy, intelligence, and creativity. A meaningful life aims not so much at day-to-day contentment but rather fulfillment.

#2 We can increase the amount of meaning in our lives by turning to the things that already have a great deal of meaning for us. We may not be fully appreciating or valuing these things.
