It brings together trends in the "human search for meaning," and examines the process of purpose-seeking through multiple perspectives, such as positive psychology, self-determination, and integrative. The contributors also address threats to meaning and meaning-centered interventions, making this the most comprehensive tex available for meaning-oriented research and applications.
