Our well-being relies on two simple experiences: feeling valued by others and knowing we have something meaningful to contribute. But that feeling of mattering has been quietly, steadily, and structurally erased from millions of people’s lives. How do we get back the feeling that we matter – to ourselves and to others? Award winning author, and host of the #1 alt health podcast (Passion Struck) with 85+ million downloads, John R. Miles, reframes the struggle and offers a way out in his new book, THE MATTERING EFFECT: Creating a Life of Meaning and Worth (Morehouse Publishing, Oct. 6, 2026). When we stop feeling valued a gap forms between what you give and what you feel in return. Miles calls that the Mattering Gap, and at its core, mattering is the felt sense that your life has value – and what you do makes a difference. To understand what that really means and how individuals can reclaim that sense of worth, Miles spoke with over eighty of the world’s foremost thinkers, including Nobel Laurate Alvin Roth, Angela Duckworth, Arthur Brooks, and more. Blending cutting-edge research in psychology, neuroscience, and deeply personal stories, THE MATTERING EFFECT can help people once again feel deeply connected to themselves and one another.
