For this compilation of wisdom and insights on what is truly important, Catherine Conlon tracked down people from varying walks of life, not all well known and mainly Irish, for answers to life's crucial questions: What is it to be alive in 2014? What gives meaning to life? What does it mean to lead a useful life? What will my legacy be? Do I believe in an afterlife? Contributors include Christina Noble, Peter McVerry, Dermot Bolger, Sr Stan, Maureen Gaffney, Colm O'Gorman, Alice Taylor, Chris Hadfield, Peter Sheridan, and Tony Humphreys among others. This collection will inspire self-reflection and lead us to reconsider our notions of the real value of our lives

About the Author:

Catherine Conlon lectures in Epidemiology and Public Health at University College Cork. Her keen interest in health gave rise to her book Sonas: Celtic Thoughts on Happiness (2009) that explored the depths beneath the distractions of modern life. A mother of four living in Cork, she cites winning the Young Scientist Award as a turning point, realising she could do anything if she wanted it enough. She also published a novel, Valentia, about island life off the coast of Kerry.
