INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Financial Times' "Best books of 2023 — Health & Wellness"
"Life Worth Living is transcendent. A collection of wisdom punctuated by questions of great consequence, this is the only book you need to find your way from where you are to where you are called to be."
—Kelly Corrigan, NYT bestselling author, host of Kelly Corrigan Wonders and PBS’s Tell Me More
Based on the Yale class, a guide to defining and then creating a flourishing life, and answering one of life’s most pressing questions: how are we to live?
AN OPEN FIELD PUBLICATION FROM MARIA SHRIVER
What makes a good life? The question is inherent to the human condition, asked by people across generations, professions, and social classes, and addressed by all schools of philosophy and religions. This search for meaning, as Yale faculty Miroslav Volf, Matthew Croasmun, and Ryan McAnnally-Linz argue, is at the crux of a crisis that is facing Western culture, a crisis that, they propose, can be ameliorated by searching, in one’s own life, for the underlying truth.
In Life Worth Living, named after its authors’ highly sought-after undergraduate course, Volf, Croasmun, and McAnnally-Linz chart out this question, providing readers with jumping-off points, road maps, and habits of reflection for figuring out where their lives hold meaning and where things need to change.
Drawing from the major world religions and from impressively truthful and courageous secular figures, Life Worth Living is a guide to life’s most pressing question, the one asked of all of us: How are we to live?

Starred review from March 1, 2023
Inspired by the highly popular undergraduate course they teach at Yale, authors-professors-theologians Miroslav Volf, Matthew Croasmun, and Ryan McAnnally-Linz's book for all seasons and all reasons might prove, at times, uncomfortable for readers. Worthy of being savored, though, it will offer weeks, if not months, of reflection. The authors aim to help anyone examine their wants, goals, hopes, and responsibilities, using conversational language, short chapters, and end-of-chapter questions to ponder. Pulling from ancients and moderns as wide-ranging as Aristotle and Krishna, Buddha and Drake, the authors piece together answers to such questions as what's worth wanting, who we answer to, how we face the limits (and the end) of life, and how we deal with change. Readers will recognize time-tested quotes like ""be thyself"" (in today's parlance, "you do you") and ""what doesn't kill us . . ."" and, ultimately, an arrow pointing to what matters most. Individuals will find more than one answer to every question posed, and a final, valuable encomium: "Your life is too valuable to be guided by anything less than what matters most." A must-read for any age.COPYRIGHT(2023) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
