What is Really Important in Life?

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

What is really important in life? The great religions and philosophers have all had a go at this, and there are some commonalities. Three of my favorite authors came up with the following:

Joseph Campbell (2004)—to find your bliss

Viktor Frankl (1959)—to find meaning

Lawrence LeShan (1989)—to sing your own unique song
