Written for the generally educated reader, but of interest to the professional philosopher, Iddo Landau's book is a guide to making life meaningful under less than ideal conditions. Landau is a careful, informed navigator, showing the reader how to reach a meaningful life despite obstacles such as suffering, death, evil, randomness, and a lack of free will. Making insightful philosophical points without jargon, referring to literature and the arts to illustrate, and
also plumbing people's psychologies to identify mental blocks, Landau's book is practically wise and theoretically profound.
Iddo Landau is Professor of Philosophy at Haifa University, Israel. He has published extensively on the meaning of life.
