ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Finding Meaning in an Imperfect World by Iddo Landau explores the pervasive human quest for purpose and significance in our lives. The book delves into the reasons why many individuals unnecessarily feel their existence lacks meaning. It examines and challenges the notion that meaningfulness requires perfection or extraordinary achievements. Landau navigates through various arguments that question life's inherent value, such as its finitude and the imperfections of the world. Ultimately, the work suggests ways to identify and cultivate meaning in everyday experiences and encourages a shift away from unrealistic expectations towards a more grounded appreciation of life's possibilities.
