Recommendation

University of Michigan professor Victor Strecher lost his daughter Julia to a rare heart disease when she was 19. In his grief, he turned to philosophy and science to create a new way of living. The answer, he discovered, is purpose – the fuel for a happier, healthier, more resilient and gratifying existence. Join Strecher on a journey of discovery to find your transcendent purpose and explore his recommended five positive behaviors to gain the energy, focus and determination purposeful living demands.

Take-Aways

  • Facing death inspires philosophical questions such as, “What is a life worth living?”
  • The works of philosophers can provide comfort and advice during troubled times.
  • Researchers now apply scientific methods to find answers to philosophical questions.
