Is Life Worth Living? is a tiny book about some of life’s big questions. How do you find meaning in your life? Why do people fall into despair and depression? And how can these feelings be overcome? Almost fifty years before Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning, William James discovers that feelings of pessimism and melancholy can be defeated through the power of action and struggle, and that life’s meaning is created through your own actions.
William James (1842 – 1910) was a leading philosopher, educator, historian and psychologist. He is widely considered to be the “father of American psychology”.
