520 |a "Secular-minded readers seeking an alternative to The Purpose-Driven Life have an excellent starting point here."'Publishers Weekly For readers who are serious about confronting the big issues in life'but are turned off by books which deal with them through religion, spirituality, or psychobabble, this is an honest, intelligent discussion by a philosopher that doesn't hide from the difficulties or make undeliverable promises. It aims to help the reader understand the overlooked issues behind the obvious questions, and shows how philosophy does not so much answer them as help provide us with the resources to answer them for ourselves. "Useful and provocative."'The Wall Street Journal "Looking for a clear guide to what contemporary philosophy has to say about the meaning of life' Baggini takes us through all the plausible answers, weaving together Kierkegaard, John Stuart Mill, Monty Python, and Funkadelic in an entertaining but always carefully reasoned discussion."'Peter Singer, author of How Are We To Live "The question of the meaning of life has long been a byword for pretentious rambling. It takes some nerve to tackle it in a brisk and no-nonsense fashion."'New Statesman.
