Synopsis

Unlike most personal growth books, The Real Meaning of Life is not written by an expert, nor is it the culmination of painstaking self-study or a sudden breakthrough. The book collects the insights of everyday people who responded to David Seaman’s simple query, What is the meaning of life?” typed into an online forum on a laptop at Starbucks. To his surprise, a flood of responses came. Some suggested boobies and beer,” but Seaman found that most were much more thoughtful so much so that he created a website and now this book to collect the best of them. From thousands of respondents including Buddhists, born-again Christians, atheists, waitresses, students, and recovering heart attack patients come incredibly diverse wisdom that can be aphoristic ( Be grease, not glue”), philosophical ( There is no point to life, and that is exactly what makes it so special”), or whimsical ( Me, I'm going snowboarding”).
