Review of the book “The Meaning of Life” written by Prof. Rumen Stamatov, D.Sc.
Journal Title: Psychological Thought - Year 2020, Vol 13, Issue 2
Abstract
The review of the book "The Meaning of Life" presents a theoretical study conducted by Rumen Stamatov, dedicated to one of the most complex constructs in psychology. The question of the meaning of life is posed in the field of existential and positive psychology. The author accepts that the understanding of the question of meaning can be represented by four separate questions: Why should I live?; What to do with the rest of my life ?; What meaning can I draw from my past life ?; What could be different in my life? These questions reveal different perspectives in which the problem of meaning arises. The book is perhaps the most in-depth study of these issues written by a Bulgarian author.
