Finding New Meaning in Life

I read Finding New Meaning in Life by Marcia Griffin & Paul McQuillan which shows us how to find meaning in life using Logotherapy, a form of psychology.  In alternate chapters Marcia and Paul outline a number of issues in our lives including "decisions", "purpose", "responsibility" and "resilience".  Each chapter addresses healthy attitudes and unhealthy attitudes.  An example of a "healthy attitude" - "My past mistakes guide me towards better decisions in the future."  Whereas  the "unhealthy attitude" for this point is "I feel guilty for some of my past and so I try never to think about those events."  There was not a lot of "new" insights for me but it's good to have healthy attitudes reinforced. 31/2/5
