Traversal - Hardcover

Maria Popova's meditation on what makes a meaningful life, from the creator of The Marginalian. She weaves science, philosophy, poetry, biography to ask questions that resist easy answers.

What is life? What is death? What makes a body a person? Popova thinks about these questions with generosity and precision. She draws on neuroscience, literature, history, art. The book is a conversation with many voices across time. It changes how you think about mortality and meaning.

Philosophy, literature, and contemplative studies all assign this. It's the book people read when they need to think deeply.
