| Description: | Select Guide Rating Is the possibility of becoming your ‘ideal self’ just wishful thinking? The founder of New Philosopher and Womankind takes us on her own journey into the philosophical world of becoming yourself. What is a meaningful life? What does it mean to flourish? Antonia Case, the co-founder of New Philosopher and Womankind magazines, quits her corporate job in the city and, with her partner, travels across the world in search of meaning. In a quest to find answers, she turns off the soundtrack of the media, rids herself of technology, and with little more than books as carry-on luggage, she journeys from Buenos Aires to Paris, from Barcelona to Byron Bay, seeking guidance from ancient philosophers and modern-day psychologists on what is a good life, and what is a life worth living. Along the way she discovers why winning the lottery doesn''t make you happy, why making is better than having, and how love and belonging are vital to our sense of selves. |
