At the top of my list (and many others of its kind) is Man’s Search for Meaning: The Classic Tribute to Hope from the Holocaust (Frankl, 1946, 2004). It was written by the Austrian psychiatrist, Holocaust survivor, and founder of logotherapy, Viktor Frankl,who lived from 1905 to 1997.

Like the other philosophers of the Stoa, the former Greek slave Epictetus (c. 55–135 C.E.) strongly believed that we can control our feelings by controlling our thoughts. Because most external events are beyond our control, Epictetus believed that it is pointless to worry about them. But our evaluations of these events, by contrast, are entirely wi...

But truly being presentis far from a simple matter. The key to living in the present, Tolle writes, is to stop identifying with our minds and the stream of invol...
The French-born Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard is both a theorist and a practitioner of altruism. He believes that the meaning of our lives is to practice altruism. In Altruism: The Science and Psychology of Kindness, Ricard (2015) argues that the wider our circle of care is extended and the more unconditional and inclusive it becomes, the more genu...
You will no doubt have noticed that some of the ideas on what constitutes the meaning of lifeexplored above are in contradiction. Some, such as Epictetus and Tolle, argue that we can find meaning inside our selves, by shoring up our defenses against the blows of fortune and by being present. Frankl, Aristotle, Harris, and Ricard, by contrast, argue...
