Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
What kind of life would be truly worth wanting? What kind of world would be truly worth seeking? How should we live?
We are facing a crisis of meaning. Swept up in the obstacles of the day-to-day, the deeper questions of our fundamental purpose linger just beneath the surface of our personal lives and our collective culture. What we need is to seek the truth.
In Life Worth Living, Yale's leading theologians Volf, Croasmun and McAnnally-Linz offer a deep dive beneath the levels of habit, strategy and introspection to the bedrock question of what kind of life is truly worth living. Inspired by the leading Yale course of the same, this perspective-shifting book will guide you through life's biggest questions. Drawing on the world's greatest religious and philosophical traditions, this is your path to understanding the true meaning of life.

Great book, unconvincing narrator but recommended listen
This book offer great insights from different philosophical and religious traditions/practices.
Although the narrator was clearly the wrong choice, i.e. the authority that the writer offers and the narrator lacks; the book make clear points and uses attractive narratives to building up his point/s.

Deeply challenging
I found this book deeply challenging, forcing me to face some underlying reflexive ideas that I have never thought of. Corrigan narrates very well. I found the way the authors blend perspectives on this question from stories and writings from so many diverse philosophers and thinkers, from Confucius to the Buddha to Plato, Jesus, Al-Ghazali Nietzsche, Wilde as well current thinkers like Singer. They make it clear there are no easy answers, no simple, unifying agreement, and no easy way to live a life worthy of our shared humanity. But none of us can get away by avoiding it and our responsibilities. That’s not comforting, but it is refreshing. The challenge at the end of the book is how will the reader act on this.
