How to Experience More Purpose in Your Life

Have you ever woken up on a Tuesday morning, looked at your stable life, and felt a bit of an ache open up in your chest? You are ticking every box society handed you, yet you still find yourself asking: “Is this it? ”

We live in a world obsessed with keeping us occupied, but it rarely keeps us fulfilled. In this solo episode of How to Be Happy, I dive into the psychology of human meaning and purpose.

For a long time, I treated purpose like a hidden treasure chest; a single, massive object I had to "find." But as a happiness researcher, I discovered that this treasure-hunt mindset is actually making people deeply unhappy.

In this episode we explore:

• The Fractured Roots of Meaning: Why modern life has stripped away our traditional anchors of community, and the surprising biological toll that a lack of purpose takes on your physical health.
• The "Finding" Fallacy: Why your purpose isn't hiding under a rock waiting to be discovered, and how shifting from "searching" to "building" completely rewrites your timeline
• The Purpose Equation: A deep dive into my core actionable framework to help you hone more purpose in your life.
