This takes on nihilism: the philosophical view that asserts there IS no meaning in life. Suck it up, buttercup! We check out Wendy Syfret's new book in which she argues that adopting a nihilistic point of view can be freeing rather than depressing. She argues that meaning in life is now for sale in the marketplace in our culture when we buy, buy, buy to create a lifestyle and "meaning" for ourselves to keep us from really focusing on what matters most.
