A meaningful life – what does that phrase mean to you?

"The Four Ds for a Meaningful Life," by Sharon Mignerey, is a short, lovely self-help book for improving your life and following your dreams.
In the winter of 2010 and spring of 2011, I stopped teaching in a public school to write full-time, and I listened to a lot of Tony Robbins videos on YouTube to keep my motivation level high and provide a buffer against all of the people criticizing my choice.
Reading "The Four Ds for a Meaningful Life" in May/June of 2024 reminded me of that time in my life. There is a quality to the prose that very much took me back to those Tony Robbins videos.
I enjoyed the short passages of history and memoir that are interspersed in the book. Mignerey certainly shared things with me that I had not known before.
