Great Quality and Great read

This book examines some key concepts and ideas, emerging from philosophy, literature, science etc. It gives short summaries and interpretation of those ideas. It is readable, and interesting. I guess most people will find something new here. My main gripe is that it needed a good editor. Some mistakes, and clunky writing at times - knocked a star off for me. Overall though, not a bad way to spend a couple of hours.

I discovered "The Art of Living a Meaningless Existence" through the "Pursuit of Wonder" YouTube channel. Intrigued by the channel's unique format, I decided to read the book and was not disappointed. This gem introduces diverse philosophical perspectives on life, human roles, self-identity, meaning, and nothingness.The author's eloquent writing style and ability to distill complex ideas into digestible content make this book an engaging and accessible read. The intellectual exercise of exploring these ideas expanded my horizons and inspired me to reevaluate my beliefs and values."The Art of Living a Meaningless Existence" is a captivating and enlightening read that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking to explore the depths of human existence and the meaning of life. I am grateful to have come across this book and confident that I will revisit it in the future. The author's ability to provoke thought and inspire self-reflection is truly commendable.

From the pursuit of wonder creator Robert Pantano this book discusses thoughts from major writers, philosophers and poets trying to make meaning from meaninglessness. Great book, one that I’m definitely going to read again.

Great essays on the understanding of this art of life. Well worth the read. Loved it and inspired me greatly

I enjoyed the novel version a lot

One of the greatest books I’ve read in a long time. I’m not a native English speaker but I can follow and understand the concepts portrayed in this book very well and learn a lot from it.Been watching Pursuit of Wonder for some time and Robert Pantano created a masterpiece with this book.Getting to the production quality:As it is printed and produced by Amazon (written on one of the last pages), the production quality is ok. The pages and cover feel great. But the print has some issues, like for example two pages back to back aren’t printed on the same height (I don’t know the English word for this, in German it’s „Registerhaltigkeit“). If you read it and light hits a page from the back, you can see that the rows aren’t printed on the same height and that distracts me a bit. And there are some texts highlighted or printed in a lighter shade, which makes no sense if you look at the context. But as i said, that’s probably Amazons fault and not Mr Pantanos.
