The Sixth Battle of Acedia: Meaninglessness - a Mid-Life Opportunity
No Customer Reviews
The problem is most of us live too long and too comfortably. We live way beyond our evolutionarily calibrated expiration date, way past our procreative mandate. This means that, aside from the legitimate battles of survival, we are all - eventually - doomed to fight a very peculiar, very human battle - a battle against meaninglessness - a battle that we need to lose not win, if we are to win the existential war against suffering. The book is about our search for meaning and how to cope with meaninglessness and apathy of midlife.About the author: Pavel Somov, PhD is a licensed psychologist in private practice, and the author of 7 self-help books on mindfulness-based self-help; he speaks domestically and internationally on the topics of mindfulness; Somov is on the Advisory Board of the Mindfulness Project (London, UK); several of his books have been translated into Dutch, Chinese and Portuguese; he has also published in peer-reviewed journals.
