James Bailey was unemployed, heartbroken, and questioning his purpose on the planet. In desperate search of an answer, he decided to write to luminaries from all fields and ask one simple question: What is the meaning of life?

Then he waited.

Slowly but surely their responses arrived through his letterbox.

From entrepreneurs and environmentalists, to artists, authors and adventurers, this book gathers a kaleidoscope of perspectives on what it means to be human. With over one hundred enlightening responses, it’s more than just a collection of letters; it’s a roadmap to finding your own path.

With letters from Dame Jane Goodall, Dame Hilary Mantel, Yusuf/Cat Stevens, Rupi Kaur and many more.
