Meaning of Life: Psychological Guide for Young People is not a manual-it's a companion. It walks with the reader through self-discovery, emotional resilience, and authentic living. Each chapter explores key aspects of the human experience: identity, relationships, values, passions, and mental health.

Grounded in psychological insight, the guide speaks with empathy and hope. It acknowledges loneliness, change, and the quiet strength of gratitude and mindfulness. It offers tools and reflections to help young people thrive-not just survive.

Above all, it affirms that meaning is found in everyday choices, relationships, passions, and courage. To every young person asking, "Why am I here?"-this book is for you. Your questions matter. Your life is worth exploring.
