I don't remember if it had practical tips for finding/creating meaning in your life, but "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor Frankl. Great book. He survived a concentration camp during the holocaust. The book is about how having meaning in life was a crucial part of his and other's survival. I highly recommend it.
Full disclosure: I think of finding meaning often, but have struggled with it. I suspect this has to do with my current situation and I hope to remedy that when it changes.
One more thing: if you're a man please find friends and build a community as you age. Many of us are terribly lonely once we reach a certain age. I believe working on my social and community life will help me find that meaning. Maybe that's the same for you.
Good luck!!

I also found that performing service helps fill the void where I feel purpose and meaning are missing. And if service isn't the whole solution, a partially filled void is easier to top off.
