A Great Courses lecture series surveying how major intellectual traditions answer the question of life's meaning, from the Bhagavad Gita and Book of Job through Stoicism, Daoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism to Hume, Kant, Mill, Tolstoy, and Nietzsche.
The commenter says they cannot highly recommend it enough and found it extremely easy to listen to, with a wide range of traditions covered.

All bhuddist philosophy takes the understanding of your impending death, and the background fear of it, as absolutely critical to determining meaning in your life.
I can not highly recommend enough "The Meaning of Life : Perspectives from the World's Great Intellectual Traditions". It's one of The Great Courses and I found, extremely easy to listen to. The topics covered range from the Bhagavad Gita, to the Book of Job, to Stoicism, to Daoism, Confucianism, Bhuddism, and all the way into modernity (Hume, Mills, Kant, Tolstoy) and post-modernity (Nietzsche).
A pervasive theme of ALL cultures with a philosophical tradition is the necessity of living one's life with the moment to moment realization of one's death.
