How can we find meaning when life seems devoid of purpose?


Jamie Wheal, a renowned author, speaker, and expert on the subject of peak performance and flow states, explores the pressing question of how we can regain a sense of awe, wonder, and meaning in our lives and society in his new book Recapture the Rapture: Rethinking God, Sex, and Death in a World That’s Lost Its Mind.


Drawing from his extensive research in fields such as neuroscience, psychology, and anthropology, Jamie examines the impact of societal and cultural factors on overall well-being and sense of meaning. He explores the human longing for transcendence and proposes a roadmap for individuals to reclaim a more vibrant, purpose-driven existence.


Jamie also suggests that reclaiming a sense of rapture–a deep, transformative experience of wonder and connection–is crucial for our personal growth and the overall health of our society.


Join Darius and Jamie in this episode as they talk about purpose, authenticity, and the importance of having real-world experiences in order to become a better human being.
