The pathway to meaning
Achieving self-fulfillment in an uncertain world
Original Title
La Route du sens L'art de s'épanouir dans un monde incertain
Understanding yourself better to drive away boredom, frustration and the sense of emptiness
What can we do when we feel our lives are losing their meaning? In this book, psychologist Jean-Claude Drolet suggests an approach that is surprisingly pragmatic, and yet is an invaluable tool for putting our priorities “in the right place”.
This book helps us to:
- understand—explain life's difficult experiences to ourselves so that we can include them consciously in our baggage;
- love—rediscover who we are, what we really like and what we really want so as to replace avoidance, flight and negative behaviours with empathy, confidence and acceptance;
- make a commitment—set goals, both daily and in the long term, that respect our deepest natures, and in so doing go forward in life in a single direction and in a fully authentic way.
Thorough and easy to follow, this book succeeds in clearly and directly outlining the path we have to take to leave our uncertainties behind us, reconnect with our internal compass and breathe into our lives a meaning that will persist through dark days as well as through brighter ones.
