About this audiobook

How does one find meaning when life seems meaningless?

In A Confession, Leo Tolstoy embarks on a deeply personal and philosophical journey through his own crisis of faith. Despite being one of the most successful writers of his time, he finds himself consumed by existential dread—questioning the purpose of life, the inevitability of death, and whether true fulfillment is even possible.

As he grapples with these questions, Tolstoy delves into the philosophies of science, religion, and spirituality, ultimately arriving at a profound realization that would shape the rest of his life. This short yet powerful work is a raw and unfiltered glimpse into the mind of one of history’s greatest literary figures, offering insights that remain profoundly relevant today.
