Review: This is the sort of book you have to read properly - no skimming. The author has an expansive writing style, very readable, but some reviewers have said repetitive. I would disagree with that - The concepts he talks about are complex and important. After reading about 50 pages I came to the conclusion that if he had just explained things once, I wouldn't have fully understood their depth or, if I'm being honest with myself, my ego wouldn't have accepted that I think in the way he is suggesting. The repetition slowly breaks down the barriers. I started my own journey on the "second half of life" about 2 years ago so, from what I've gone through in that time, I can identify with everything he says. The book makes sense, is relevant and, most importantly, really does talk about the things you need to know if you are entering your midlife crisis. Definitely worth buying

Review: The author has a terrible writing style, taking numerous pages to say something that could be fully said and explained in a few words. To me, it seems he has forgotten, or simply not thought about who he is actually writing for. Best read by skimming through the gobbledygook. If you can bare to struggle through the over wordiness, there is some thought provoking stuff, but nothing I didn't already know so far having read as far as half way through Ch 3. Feel cheated by what looked like a promising read

    Description: Does life have meaning? Is it possible for life to be meaningful when the world is filled with suffering and when so much depends merely upon chance? Even if there is meaning, is there enough to justify living? These questions are difficult to resolve. There are times in which we face the mundane, the illogically cruel, and the tragic, which leave us to question the value of our lives. However, Iddo Landau argues, our lives often are, or could be made, meaningful | ??we've just been setting the bar too high for evaluating what meaning there is. When it comes to meaning in life, Landau explains, we have let perfect become the enemy of the good. We have failed to find life perfectly meaningful, and therefore have failed to see any meaning in our lives. We must attune ourselves to enhancing and appreciating the meaning in our lives, and Landau shows us how to do that. In this warmly written book, rich with examples from the author's life, film, literature, and history, Landau offers new theories and practical advice that awaken us to the meaning already present in our lives and demonstrates how we can enhance it. He confronts prevailing nihilist ideas that undermine our existence, and the questions that dog us no matter what we believe. While exposing the weaknesses of ideas that lead many to despair, he builds a strong case for maintaining more hope. Along the way, he faces provocative questions: Would we choose to live forever if we could? Does death render life meaningless? If we examine it in the context of the immensity of the whole universe, can we consider life meaningful? If we feel empty once we achieve our goals, and the pursuit of these goals is what gives us a sense of meaning, then what can we do? Finding Meaning in an Imperfect World is likely to alter the way you understand your life.

    Description: A brilliant, caring, practical guide to help us understand grief' Daniel J Siegel, M.D.' Finding Meaning is Kessler's poignant response to society's insensitivity, [a] how-to in the very best sense' LA Times David Kessler - the world's foremost expert on grief and the coauthor with Elisabeth Kuebler-Ross of the iconic On Grief and Grieving - journeys beyond the classic five stages to discover a sixth stage: meaning. David has spent decades teaching about end of life, trauma and grief. And yet his life was upended by the sudden death of his twenty-one-year-old son. How does the grief expert handle such a devastating loss? In Finding Meaning, Kessler shares his hard-earned wisdom and offers a roadmap to remembering those who have died with more love than pain, how to move forward in a way that honours our loved ones and ultimately transform grief into a more peaceful and hopeful experience. An inspiring must-read for anyone struggling to figure out how to live after loss.

  • Waterstones Finding Hope and Meaning in Suffering

    Price: £10.99

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: Everyone suffers at some time or other - it's simply a part of life. But however bad things seem, we are never completely helpless. For the deeply affirming truth is that we can choose how to respond to adverse circumstances. Trystan Owain Hughes suggests that learning how to suffer and how to wait patiently may be the secret of finding joy in our lives. Diagnosed with a degenerative spinal condition, he was surprised to discover that, instead of increasing his unhappiness, it spurred him on to seek out sources of hope and meaning. The book opens by encouraging us to take a step back from our anxieties and worries and rest in the love of God. We then explore five areas where that love may be found in the midst of pain: in nature, memory, art, laughter and other people. By becoming conscious of the echoes of the transcendent in these areas, we will gain new strength. And paradoxically, through facing our suffering, learn to truly live.
