Why do people search for meaning?
Across history we have looked to religion, philosophy, science, psychology, relationships, and personal achievement in an attempt to answer the same enduring question: what makes life meaningful?
In The Return to Meaning, Susan M. Moss explores this question through a unique blend of psychology, science, personal reflection, and philosophical inquiry. Drawing upon research from physics, neuroscience, evolutionary theory, consciousness studies, trauma psychology, and human experience, she examines whether meaning is something we invent or something we discover.
The book follows a journey through some of humanity's biggest questions:
- Why is there something rather than nothing?
- What is consciousness?
- How do memory, relationships, and experience shape our lives?
- Why do suffering and adversity often become sources of growth?
- What connects human beings to one another and to the wider world?
Rather than offering dogmatic answers, Moss presents a framework for understanding life through patterns of coherence, connection, memory, and meaning. Along the way she examines scientific discoveries, historical ideas, personal loss, resilience, human behaviour, and the search for belonging in an increasingly fragmented world.
Part scientific exploration, part psychological reflection, and part philosophical journey, The Return to Meaning invites readers to consider a simple but profound possibility: that a meaningful life emerges not from what we possess, but from how deeply we connect with ourselves, one another, and the world around us.
For readers interested in psychology, consciousness, philosophy, personal growth, and the human search for purpose, this book offers a thoughtful exploration of what may hold us all together.
