Description
Do you have everything you were supposed to want - job, bills paid, life on paper - and still feel like something is missing? You're not alone. And you're not broken.
This is called an existential vacuum, and psychology has been studying it for decades.
In this video, we break down the science of meaning vs. happiness, inspired by Viktor Frankl, Roy Baumeister, and Michael Steger. You'll learn why chasing happiness makes you feel emptier, and how to actually build a life that feels like it matters.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
✓ The difference between happiness (how you feel now) and meaning (how your story fits together)
✓ What Viktor Frankl discovered about why humans need a WHY to live
✓ The 3 ingredients of a meaningful life according to Roy Baumeister: Coherence, Significance, and Purpose
✓ Why searching for purpose is making you more lost (and what to do instead)
✓ How purpose is BUILT, not found - and the 3 places to build it: Work, Love, and Courage
✓ The 5 ordinary sources of meaning most people ignore
If you've ever thought "Is this it? Is this all there is?" - this video is for you.
