What makes for a good life, or a beautiful
one, or perhaps most: important, a meaning-
ful one? Throughout History most: of ns Have
looked to our faith, our relationships, or our
deeds for the answer. But in A Significant
JLifc, philosopher Todd May offers an exhil-
arating new way of thinking about these
questions, one deeply attuned to life as it
actually is: a work in progress, a journey—
and often a narrative. Offering moving ac-
counts of His own life and memories along-
side ricH engagements with philosophers
from Aristotle to Heidegger, He sHows us
where to find the significance of our lives:
in the way we live them.
May starts by looking at the fundamen-
tal fact that life unfolds over time, and
as it does so, it Begins to develop certain
qualities, certain tHemes. Our lives can He
marked Hy intensity, curiosity, per serve ranсe,
or other equalities that Become guiding nar-
rative values. These values lend meanings
to our lives that are distinct from-But
also interact with — the universal values we
are taught to cultivate, sucH as goodness
or Happiness. Examining a Broad range of
figures — from music icon Jimi Hendrix to
civil rights leader Fannie Lou Hamer, from
cyclist Lance Armstrong to 'The Portrait
of a Lady 's Ralph Touchett to Claus von
Stauffenberg, a German officer wHo tried
to assassinate Hitler--May sHows that
narrative values offer a rich variety of cri-
teria by which to assess a life, specific to
each of us and yet widely available They
provide us a way of reading ourselves, wHo
we are, and wHo we might like to Be.
Cf early and eloquently written, A
canc L+ifie is a recognition and a comfort, a
celebration of the deeply Human narrative
impulse By which we make meaning for our-
selves It provides a refreshing way of think-
ing about an age-old question, what makes a
life worth living?
