MEANING OF LIFE: LETTERS FROM EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE (HB)

When James Bailey was feeling lost in life, he was inspired by philosopher Will Durant's project to write to 100 luminaries, challenging them to respond to the fundamental question of life's meaning. Collected here are letters from scientists, writers, campaigners, athletes, politicians, entertainers, survivors and philosophers. Some are about happiness and heartbreak, some are about purpose, some are funny and some will change the way you think. Contains letters from Robert Winston, Anil Seth, Hilary Mantel, Oliver Burkeman, Dame Kelly Holmes, Adam Grant and John Major, among many others.
