Lately I’ve been feeling like nothing I do has meaning. It all feels like I’m just making it up for the sake of doing something and at the end of the day it will amount to nothing in the history of the world, so therefore what’s the point? What has meaning in that case? I want a book that asks and hopefully answers this question. Number one stipulation is that it cannot be some book on religion. I also don’t want the plain old answer of “you give life whatever meaning you want it to have” or “your connections with other people are what is truly meaningful”. I want something that will totally shift my view of the meaning of life, whether it bee thousand year old philosophy or a contemporary work of fiction.
