Great quotes from some very cool people.

[William Mckinney · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Meaning of Life shows you how people that you know are famous, are just people. The only difference, is that they worked up to a point where they were recognized as important people. The best part about this book is the fact that there are incredible stories about people that have struggled through many horrible things. The most compelling of which is just a normal man that starred in one movie, Superman, in 1978. Although it was amazing to read about his story, it was also informative. I recommend this book to everyone and anyone who can understand that life is worth living to it's fullest.

Selections from the "What I've Learned" feature of the magazine. It's great reading. It's a book equivalent like asking all of the older and wiser people in your life if and how they would do things over. Only these people are famous.
