THE POWER OF MEANING Crafting a Life That Matters

The author calls upon a host of philosophers, poets, and spiritual leaders to illustrate this satisfying meditation on how to move beyond happiness to find meaning. Mozhan Marno's narration reflects the spirit of the Iranian author's Sufi background. Her vocal beauty and sensibilities make even research summaries have energy and appeal. Powerful without sounding overly serious, Marno's performance creates a solemn space that promotes openness to the author's message that finding meaning is the answer to the moral discontent so pervasive in contemporary culture. Smith describes people in a variety of colorful locales who are working to avoid the hollowness of today's habits and pursuits. These vignettes and her thoughtful prescriptions make this audio an engaging spiritual experience. T.W. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2017]
