Emptiness Behind Things: My Search for a Meaningful Life

Claartje Kruijff &


For readers of Brené Brown’s The Power of Vulnerability.

After working in the City in London for years, Claartje Kruijff realized her life was missing depth. She decided to make the quest for the meaning of like her personal mission and she became a theologian. Nowadays, she is a preacher at the Dominican Church in Amsterdam.

In The Emptiness Behind Things, Claartje Kruijff answers all kinds of questions about ‘being and wanting’. She and the reader embark on a quest for happiness, meaning and, above all, a solid way to live your life. In an open and vulnerable way, Kruijff relates her attempts at finding meaning in her own existence. She makes you consider the important things, in relationships, in your career and in life in general, and she guides you through those important moments of joy and sadness. For anyone looking for connections and fulfilment.
