Creating a Meaningful Life cover

Creating a Meaningful Life builds on the tenets of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) to answer some of life’s basic questions, such as "How do I create a meaningful, purposeful life?" and "Is the life I am living one that brings me fulfillment, purpose, and a sense of inner peace?"

Using a variety of techniques, including journaling, grounding exercises, cognitive self-talk restructuring, and more, chapters invite counseling professionals and students to explore their inner landscape, better understand themselves and find communion with others.

"Dr. Hodges seamlessly intertwines pragmatic, spiritual, existential, and counseling concepts in a way that is applicable to all in the helping professions. This book will help counselors challenge themselves, make meaning in life, and be better clinicians."

Fred Dombrowski, PhD, LMHC, department chair and assistant professor of clinical mental health counseling, University of Bridgeport

"More people are questioning the quality of their lives and the meaning of their existence. This book is a much-needed guide to personal growth and a more fulfilling life."

Tim Osberg, PhD, professor of psychology at Niagara University
