How would you guide high school students into a greater sense of life purpose? Is it even possible?
Patrick Cook-Deegan has not only figured out how to do it, his company, Wayfinder, is doing it at scale. Patrick's approach combines research on adolescent purpose with design thinking to create exercises and strategies that high schools can add to their curriculum. Here he shares how Wayfinder came about, and their approach to teaching purpose in school. 
In this episode, you'll learn about:

• Schools not answering the big questions of life
• The power of experiences and relationships for bringing about purpose
• How design thinking can be used to create purposeful experiences
• The translation of purpose research into practice
• The ages at which young people should start engaging purpose
