Abstract
"This deeply illuminating volume is essential reading for those interested in mattering, meaning in life, happiness, and mental health. The authors provide a wonderfully comprehensive, integrative overview of mattering in a wide variety of life domains and its power to positively transform our love relationships and ourselves. I warmly recommend this groundbreaking book as the go-to resource for students, professionals, researchers, and the general public interested in better understanding how to approach the topic of mattering and how to use the useful insights provided by the authors in order to reach a happier and more meaningful life.
