12. Why Meaning Matters in our Life (And How to Find More of It)

In this episode, I explore two important questions we can ask ourselves (these will shake up your brain cells!):

1) Do I feel my life has meaning?

2) Would I like to have more meaning in my life?

After attending a powerful event led by Arthur Brooks and reflecting on the teachings of Viktor Frankl and other thought leaders, I share why meaning is not just a “nice to have”, it is essential.

We’ll talk about:

• What meaning is and why it's essential to a vibrant life
• Why a lack of meaning may be at the root of so much unhappiness and loneliness today
• The five places we most often find meaning (get ready to take notes!)

Because the truth is, meaning isn’t something we wait for. It’s something we build and sometimes re-build. If you’ve been feeling a little disconnected, restless or unsure of your “why,” this episode is for you.

Here are links to the books I mentioned:

1) The Meaning of your Life by Arthur Brooks

2) Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl

3) The Blue Zones by Dan Buettner

Onward and upward. xo
