What is the meaning of life? Between 2015 and 2020, editor Nicolae Tanase asked more than a thousand renowned and spiritual people from around the world this one timeless question: "What is the meaning of life?"
What is the Meaning of Life? A journey into the wisdom of life (Vol. II) is the second volume in the Thesaurus of Life series. It gathers 300 answers - three hundred distinct voices and perspectives - into a single, living tapestry of human wisdom.
Among the contributors you will find:
-
Spiritual teachers, mystics and contemplatives
-
Scientists, psychologists, doctors, professors and academics
-
Musicians, artists, writers, dancers and businesspeople
-
Buddhists, Christians, Muslims, Daoists, yogis, shamans and healers
-
Indigenous elders, students, activists, children and many more
Each answer is brief, heartfelt and uniquely personal. Some are poetic, some philosophical, some disarmingly simple and mindful. Together they form a "thesaurus of life" - not a dictionary of definitions, but a rich collection of meanings, angles and insights on why we are here.
