What’s it all about?

What is life really all about?

Christian Uhle demonstrates how philosophy can serve as a compass. Searching for meaning and orientation, the philosopher embarks on a journey into the things that really matter and provides philosophical answers to the big questions in life.

In the course of their lives, most people come up against the essential questions – when confronted with death, fate, or crises, such as the recent pandemic or, more concretely, in the workplace: What’s it all about? What is really worthwhile and makes for a good life?

While offers of meaning sprout up all over the place, it is getting harder and harder to find orientation in them and to distinguish well-founded answers from nonsense.

Intelligently and accessibly, by incorporating many illustrative examples, Christian Uhle develops new perspectives on the meaning of life. Bringing current research from philosophy, psychology, and sociology together for the first time, he shows that it is possible for every single one of us to find meaning in life.
