Viktor Frankl
I came across your book chapter, and straight away I thought of famous psychiatrist Viktor Frankl, He talks about the meaning of life,

Here is a link to his wiki page information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Frankl#:~:text=Viktor%20Emil%20Frankl%20(26%20March,the%20central%20human%20motivational%20force.

and a book on him https://books.google.com.au/books?hl=en&lr=&id=W3q8R4dRZTwC&oi=fnd&pg=PA9&dq=viktor+Frankl&ots=gpSODz5eBL&sig=KX5BsGx9mkLvgm8V9Pgk8TeBylo&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=viktor%20Frankl&f=false

I look forward to seeing your book chapter develop. U3162169T (discuss • contribs) 10:41, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Talking about death
I think this is such an interesting topic, and after a recent death in my family, certainly something I'm thinking about a lot. For my family, such a difficult part of the process was the dying person's inability to accept their dwindling capacity and approaching death, which seems to be a very common experience.

Why is confronting our mortality so difficult? We all know with 100% certainty that someday we will die, yet there's so little discussion or acceptance of that fact - it feels like we just stick our heads in the sand. I wonder if culturally we were more open to talking about death and the dying process, it wouldn't be such a scary thing.

Here's a short clip from a movie I watched recently - it's not at all an educational source so might not be of any use, but I think it's a really interesting way of framing life and death: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdUqHe2Wlhc&ab_channel=StevewithUnited.

Best of luck with your chapter. --U3213084 (discuss • contribs) 13:33, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Social Contribution
This is a really interesting topic to tackle, and I think you have incorporated some fantastic theories and learning features to improve readers knowledge!

Just check your different figures and make sure they all match up, I believe you have two Figure 4s.

I also had a quick look at your references, if you make sure all titles are italiscised by adding two apostrophes before and after will make sure youre sticking within the APA guidelines. I hope this helps. Keep up your amazing work. U3216125 (discuss • contribs) 03:42, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
