Have you ever questioned whether the important relationships in your life bring happiness? Do you feel self-fulfilled? Why are so many millennials and Gen Zers seeking greater meaning in life from personal relationships, in the workplace, and on social media? It is harder today than ever before to feel good about ourselves because of societal forces that influence our ability to distinguish right from wrong, the decline of civility in society, and the lack of a moral compass to help make right choices in life.

Beyond Happiness and Meaning is chock-full of contemporary examples of ethical challenges in everyday dealings with family, friends, partners, passersby, and the community. The book’s discussions offer useful ways to think through common ethical dilemmas and demonstrate how our mundane decisions are linked to humanity’s universal quest for happiness and purpose in life.
