Beyond Survival: The Human Quest for Meaning

By Manu Devassy

What does it mean to live a meaningful life in a world of algorithms, anxiety, and endless distraction?
Beyond Survival is a sweeping exploration of humanity's most enduring question-Why are we here? From ancient myths and divine kings to capitalism, climate change, and AI, this groundbreaking narrative non-fiction journeys through the entire arc of human history to uncover how we've made-and remade-meaning.

Blending the philosophical clarity of Alan Watts, the historical depth of Will Durant, and the sweeping vision of Yuval Noah Harari, author Manu Devassy offers a profound, poetic, and urgently relevant guide for the 21st-century reader.

Each chapter is a doorway-tracing how firelight myths evolved into ideologies, how gods gave way to science, and how our deepest existential crises are now playing out on screens and in data. With vivid storytelling, global insight, and timeless wisdom, Beyond Survival invites you to rethink what it means to live with purpose.

Whether you're a seeker, skeptic, or simply someone yearning for more, this book will challenge your assumptions, nourish your soul, and call you to reclaim your role as a meaning-maker in a time of confusion.
