Choosing a Life Philosophy

Finding meaning, purpose and fulfillment in a stressful, chaotic world is no lark. The Meaning of Life Forum provides a reading guide that promotes "meaningful living" and deciding on a philosophy of life.

The site features a public discussion group, an insight feature and pages devoted to life's meaning in the coming millennium. Links also are available to books and publications, a meaning-centered counseling network, research network and papers presented at international conferences.

For the latent academic in you seeking meaning to it all, there's the Introduction to Philosophy site at Southern Illinois University which asks if life has meaning, "what gives it meaning?"

The proper question, the faculty site says, is "Who am I?" -- not "What am I?" Focus should be not on the objective, but on the subjective -- the lived experience of human beings.
