Having skimmed it over, this book summarizes a couple of traps that you can fall into if you're thinking too binary about meaning. The world is not 0s and 1s from a meaning standpoint.
The best way I can describe it is a quantum theory approach to meaning. No meaning in life is like saying light is a particle, and meaning in life is like saying light is a wave. In reality thinking those things can lead to incorrect systems that lead to all sorts of trouble, and you must learn how to live in that quantum zone in order to find inner peace or something.
Unfortunately, in the realm of self help which this is, you cannot avoid guru speak, which he falls into.
His definition of religion is eternalism, and I think that is historically correct. However, he states clearly that you can't believe in a God because it leads to eternalism, which I disagree with - it's not nebulous enough.
