Why subscribe?
In a word: to stay inspired.
The word “inspire” means to breathe in. It comes from the Latin word spiritus, meaning wind; breath; the breath of life; the breath of God. To inspire someone means: “to instill the ability to do or feel something creative, productive, and powerful; to infuse them with a positive sense of purpose and direction.”
That’s why people subscribe: for a monthly shot of inspiration.
Each month I take you through an inspirational quote from another great author, and what it means to our lives. And then give you a thumbnail sketch of that author’s life and impact (complete with a “Recommended Reading” list).
You’ll meet and learn from Viktor Frankl, Mark Twain, Rachel Carson, Maurice Sendak, Kurt Vonnegut, Maya Angelou, William Shakespeare, George Orwell, Madeleine L’Engle … and dozens more!
On the first Tuesday of every month, you’ll receive a fresh issue of Mann’s Search for Meaning in your inbox on the first Tuesday of every month. (Or, for a spam-free, ad-free reading experience, plus access to our archives and community features, get the Substack app.)
If you like, you can also browse back issues of Mann’s Search for Meaning in my archives.
Want more?
Become part of the Mann’s Search community! With a paid subscription you’ll also receive an audiobook version of each monthly issue (read for you by me), plus a mailed, signed copy of each new book of mine as it comes hot off the press. And whatever community goodies I come up with in the future.
