Synopsis

What gives some the strength to go through life having to face suffering, while others having all the means to live, find no meaning to live for? The strength of the mind and its ability to search for meaning rests upon its structure. The most important task remains, which is to bring the person out of ignorance about the part of the mind that is better equipped to detect and understand meaning. In a self-centered state of mind, one lacks the framework to distinguish between the inherent meaning in life and meaning experienced. As a result, the meaning of life is conditioned on favorable circumstances. A problem arises in circumstances of suffering when one’s search for meaning does not yield meaning experienced, and one concludes that life has no meaning. The aim of this book is to provide the rational mind with a clear enough reason as to why it is not the primary source of understanding in one’s search for meaning.
