Here are some key questions to keep in mind while pondering his life:

• Do you think he lived a meaningful life? Why or why not?
• If Bede was given 2 - 3 minutes to give a summary of what he thinks makes life meaningful, what do you think he would say?
• Based on this, how do you reconcile (if at all) his thoughts with your thoughts on how to make life meaningful?
• Is there anything about his life that resonates / inspires / challenges you?
• After reading this book, do you feel the need to change anything about your own life - did you pick up on anything that helps you reorient your life to move toward finding more meaning in your own life?
