About the book
Now, the Rebbe's words of wisdom are available in English for the first time. Toward a Meaningful Life gives the modern reader - even the most secular - a fresh perspective on every aspect of his or her life, whether it is a trivial concern or the most profound matter of the soul. The book gives the Rebbe's perspective on the range of life's cycles, from birth to youth to aging to death; from marriage, love and intimacy, work and fitness, to pain and suffering, education, miracles, science, and state and religion. One learns how to bridge the dichotomy between accelerated technology and decelerated morality, between unprecedented worldwide unity and unparalleled personal disunity.
