Publisher's Synopsis
What gives life meaning-when meaning is never just one thing?
We live layered lives. At any given moment, we navigate the demands of self, family, nation, planet, and cosmos-each pulling us in different directions, each asking something of us. Some days, these layers harmonize. Other days, they collide.
"The Hierarchy of Meaning" is a profound exploration of how we construct, inherit, and negotiate meaning across these layers. From the intimacy of personal identity to the sweeping responsibilities of global stewardship, this book traces the tensions we face when meanings overlap-or contradict. Should national duty override family? Can the planet's needs outweigh personal desires? Is there a final layer beneath them all-or only the mystery of the search itself?
With philosophical clarity and human warmth, this book doesn't offer easy answers. Instead, it invites you to live the questions with more courage, more curiosity, and more compassion. Rich with insight and grounded in real-life dilemmas, "The Hierarchy of Meaning" is for anyone who senses that life is more than what we're told-and is ready to ask what that "more" might be.
Layer by layer, it's time to build a more conscious life.
