A Life Worth Living by Miroslav Volf Summary
Overview of A Life Worth Living
Born from Yale's transformative seminar, "Life Worth Living" challenges our productivity-obsessed culture with a radical proposition: true meaning emerges through relationships, not achievements. Kate Bowler calls it "life-changing" - a counterintuitive roadmap to joy that embraces both celebration and sorrow.

When Everything You've Built Starts to Crumble
Have you ever felt the ground shift beneath your feet-not physically, but in the way you understand your entire life? One moment you're certain about your path, and the next, everything you've been chasing feels hollow. This isn't depression or a midlife crisis. It's what happens when we encounter what might be called "the Question"-that fundamental inquiry into what actually makes life worth living. Prince Siddhartha experienced it when he first witnessed suffering outside his palace walls. Simon Peter felt it when he abandoned his fishing nets. Ida B. Wells confronted it when she discovered the brutal truth about racial violence. Each faced a moment when their comfortable assumptions shattered, forcing them to rebuild their understanding of what truly matters. This isn't some abstract philosophical puzzle reserved for monks and academics. It's the most practical question we'll ever face, because it shapes every choice we make and determines the ultimate direction of our lives. The Question emerges when we witness something that makes our normal existence suddenly questionable-and when it arrives with full force, it has the power to completely reorient everything we thought we knew.
