What is your life story? Is it possible to rewrite and retell that story in an empowering way that transforms your life for the better? We explore these questions through the 2006 film "Stranger than Fiction."

We'll look at the transformative power of storytelling, Carl Jung's synchronicity and crisis of meaning concepts, and Dr. Viktor Frankl's philosophy on facing one's own mortality and using meaning as a way to transcend our suffering.
