Making Meaning: Welcome to a More Fulfilling and Joyful Life

By Robert Henry Lichtenbert

"Making Meaning" is the first book to fully develop this activity and the idea of meaning defining it as "the positive impact of anyone (or anything)." It then discusses the four major senses of "meaning."

Next comes the marvelous inner cry for meaning and then meaning as the life-or-death question which also much effects our mental and even physical health.

The book then explains these main "sources" or ways of making meaning: 1) quality relationships, 2) a sense of community, 3) genuine dialogue, 4) fulfilling work, 5) possessions, 6) interpreting artworks, 7) searching for God and 8) intangibles or nonphysical realities and values such as goodness, justice, free will and love.

After discussing some issues and challenges, "Making Meaning" concludes with a view on the supposedly grand meaning of life as well as how it is implied in Socrates, Plato, Aristotle and up to the current time.

An appendix gives some basic laws of logic to guide our thinking about making meaning--and every other subject.

Welcome to the wonderful new world of meaningology which studies what everything ought to mean to yourself and others It can bring true fulfillment and joy
