Eat, Pray, Love isn’t the only way to go about a spiritual journey

The Power of Meaning: Crafting a Life That Matters by Emily Esfahani Smith speaks to those looking for a fuller, more satisfying life. Esfahani argues in her book that having purpose in your life is significantly more gratifying than seeking personal happiness — but doesn’t necessarily require you to journey to a distant monastery. Instead, her book is a primer on how to derive meaning from our environment and tap into untapped sources of fulfillment. The book contains ideas and draws on the most recent research in positive psychology. Esfahani has frequently quoted great minds such as George Eliot, Viktor Frankl, Aristotle and Buddha.
