Publisher's Synopsis
What is it that brings meaning to your life? Our culture tells us to seek wealth, power, prestige, or even enrolment in someone else's idea of a worthy cause - yet where do we turn when these paths fail to fulfil our need for purpose? 'When the old stories and beliefs that once defined us have played out and grown exhausted', teaches Dr. James Hollis, 'our task is to access our inner compass, the promptings of the psyche that help us find our way through the complex thickets of choice'. Hollis makes a profound exploration of the nature of meaning and how we can orient toward it or away from it with the choices we make.
