What Really Matters: Everyday Spirituality

Ep. 99 What Does it Mean to "Find Meaning" in Our Challenges

Listen Later

In this episode I talk about the resistance in some parts of our society to the idea of finding meaning in the difficulties of life. I share my own journey of discovering meaning in life and how I now perceive the tragedies that have happened in the past. This episode includes:

  • What people from 17 different countries find meaningful in life (according to a survey)
  • How we humans are wired to find meaning in our existence before we die
  • Why Viktor Frankl said that people who found meaning were more likely to survive in concentration camps
  • Why some people reject the idea that life's challenges could have meaning
  • How to see the magic and miracles of existence without being a magical thinker
