The Importance of Meaning and Morally Therapeutic Dayism

This chapter explores the concept of meaning and its significance in human life. It discusses Victor Frankl's idea of logotherapy and critiques Maslow's hierarchy of needs for omitting meaning. The chapter examines how having meaning influences choices and behaviors, and proposes morally therapeutic dayism as a way for individuals to cultivate their own meaning. It also addresses the role of morality as a form of therapy in the absence of religious beliefs, addressing feelings of nihilism.
