Published by InterVarsity Press in 2022. Guinness takes up the Socratic call to the examined life and invites the reader to ask the great questions of meaning and purpose and to follow them to an answer. His own site describes it as an invitation to examine one's life and pursue meaning and purpose. It returns to the ground of Long Journey Home (2001), the seeker's search for meaning, for a new generation of readers.
