Portrait of R.J. Albanese

Author portrait

R. J. Albanese graduated from the University of Virginia with the intention of capturing the American Dream on many fronts. He became financially successful as an executive in a computer software company, and he also found artistic fulfillment in owning and performing in a rock 'n' roll band.

However, he found these achievements to be hollow victories. Realizing that he didn't know the true meaning of life, he set out to find it. His extensive quest revealed the indisputable answer, which transformed his life forever.

That answer became The Meaning of Life: It All Hangs on One Decision, and it continues to guide everything he writes — including Conversion, his first novel, co-written with E. T. Sherman, and The Meaning of Life for Kids series.

A note from R.J.

"When you know the meaning of life, your life transcends into abundant life. With one decision: a better life now and eternity guaranteed."

— R.J. Albanese
