Synopsis
Through the centuries thousands of people have given their views on the meaning of life. It has been described as a joke and a tragedy, a journey of self-fulfilment and a calling to help others. Professor Kinnier s study screened quotations from hundreds of eminent people and analysed them to determine their thoughts on this eternal question. Ten themes emerged from the study: 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 widsom and self-actualisation; We must create meaning for ourselves; Life is absurd. Using the study as a basis, this book contains an eclectic mix of 250 quotations. Some are profound, others are witty all of them are true.
