The Meaning Project episodes
- TMP-Ep46 - Finding Meaning Amidst Modern SufferingCurrent events and modern times have been stressful - and it seems that the recent few weeks have really bothered some people. Rabbi B. and I thought it would be helpful to share some logotherapeutic - or even "logo-philosophical", if I can coin an new term, ideas to help find meaning amidst current events and difficulties.33 min
- TMP-Ep45 - The Meaning of LoveGoing beyond the traditional view of "LOVE" this Valentine's Day to discuss the self-transcendent and unselfish view of love that helps us all to discover Meaning in our lives with Rabbi B. and Dr. D.40 min
- TMP-Ep44 - Deep dive into the Enneagram & MBTI w/ Rabbi B.Rabbi B. goes deep inside the Enneagram - what it means, how it works, how to use it to better understand yourself, and how to "defy" the negative aspects of your nature. From there, we segue into my use of the MBTI with work and career planning for individuals, and then couples and work-group assessment and conflict management. You can tell we love these topics, and probably could've gone for a few more hours, but thought it best to end it where we did! Enjoy!55 min
- TMP-Ep43 - Enneagram, MBTI, and Reductionism w/ Rabbi B.Rabbi B. and I discuss our favorite - perhaps most preferred - assessments for understanding personality and individual differences, and quickly dive into the dark side of assessment from a logotherapeutic perspective - the danger of reducing a person to a label, number, or set of letters. Enjoy!43 min
- TMP-Ep42 - The Return of Rabbi B. & our plans for 2022After taking a break through the holidays, Rabbi B. returns to discuss plans for continued podcasting and some possible other ideas for 2022. Of course, we also find ourselves waxing philosophic on Frankl, Logotherapy, and Meaning. Your feedback would definitely be appreciated!39 min
- TMP-Ep41 - Meaning Based HappinessWe live in a world that is often trying to sell us happiness. But, as Viktor Frankl writes, we cannot pursue happiness, but it must ensue from meaning based activities. Here is a list of sources of meaning based happiness from a recent group I conducted.16 min
- TMP-Ep40 - My Words to Live By for 2022A new year is often cause for resolutions and goal-setting. But instead, for this year, I am recommending choosing "words to live by". As promised in a Monday Morning Update a few weeks ago, here is a discussion on the words I am choosing for 2022 - Balance, Discipline, Speak, and Write. Enjoy!22 min
- TMP-Ep39 - Logotherapy Lecture 2.5 - Some More Techniques Before Next Year!One last set of logotherapy techniques before the new year - kind of a "bonus" podcast, or, really, more of an info dump so that I can share this last logotherapy lecture with you before re-assessing and refocusing for next year.12 min
- TMP-Ep38 - Logotherapy Lecture 2.4 - Maieutic Questions; the Secret of SocratesThis is one the logotherapy techniques I love to use most! Maieutic questioning, or Socratic Dialogue, is the art of guiding yourself, or someone else, usually clients in my case, sometimes my kids, down a path of further self analysis and self-discovery. Here is a little sample of it.15 min
- TMP-Ep37 - Logotherapy Lecture 2.3 - Looking in the MirrorThis discussion is all about “reflection” - not sitting and thinking about yourself kind of reflection, but the technique of “dereflection” and the dangers of hyper-reflection. Reflect for a moment, if you like. But be sure to take action on it.12 min
