How to Live a Meaningful Life

“Burnett and Evans have taken the messy, existential question of meaning and made it practical, human, and profoundly hopeful.”—Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Regret and Drive
“This book isn’t self-help—it’s self-discovery. It will help you stop chasing meaning and start making meaning, one choice, one experiment, and one particularity at a time.”—Guy Kawasaki, host of the Remarkable People podcast and chief evangelist of Canva
“Burnett and Evans make the quest for meaning fun, actionable and approachable. An uplifting guide for seekers, How to Live a Meaningful Life draws on foundational concepts in the field of psychology, bringing you into greater alignment with your true nature and purpose. Clear and step-wise, the reader is invited to take stock and perhaps make a course correction when it comes to our most valuable resource, the direction of our lives. In a time of renewal and redirection, setting your own inner compass has never been more essential.” — Lisa Miller, Ph.D., Columbia University Professor and Author, The Awakened Brain; The New Science of Spiriutality and Our Quest for an Inspired Life
“This book wrestles with an important question: is the quest for meaning a design problem people can actually work on? It’s an invitation to everyone to use a design mindset to build more connection and more meaning in our everyday lives.” —Professor David Kelley, Stanford
