Emily is the author of The Power of Meaning: Crafting a Life That Matters. In her book, articles, and essays, she draws on psychology, philosophy and literature to write about the human experience—why we are the way we are and how we can find grace and meaning in a world that is full of suffering.
Her articles There’s More to Life than Being Happy and Masters of Love, originally published in The Atlantic, have been read over 30 million times. Emily’s writing has also appeared in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, TIME, and other publications.
Emily is an instructor in positive psychology at the University of Pennsylvania and a columnist for The New Criterion, as well as an editor at the Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, where she advises the Ben Franklin Circles project, a collaboration with the 92nd Street Y and Citizen University to build meaning in local communities.
