The Work of Being Human

The Path to a Meaningful Life


Listen Later

Victor Frankl famously wrote about his experience in the concentrations camps of the Holocaust. His book, "Man's Search for Meaning," is a harrowing and profound journey from the gates of Hell to finding meaning in the worst of humanity. This, he claims, is what redeems our struggles from the pointless suffering of mankind to a sacred event: the discovery of meaning. This week, we unpack this. What is it that causes us to live with meaning or without it and how can we be people who discover the meaning of OUR lives and live with that integrated sense of purpose within us? What false messages have we learned about meaning, and how can we become people who know how to fill our lives with meaningful experiences and relationships?
