What makes work meaningful? This is a big question on the surface, but an important one that requires deep investigation. 

We’re outlining eight things that can help you find and create meaningful work. While, admittedly, this isn’t a perfect process, these are great questions to ask yourself when looking for work that is fulfilling. 

Main Takeaways

• You have to be solving an important problem or solving something unimportant in an interesting way.
• Your work should not conflict or contradict your central beliefs about the world.
• Be surrounded at work by people you care about and who care about you. 
• Communicate transparently and give yourself the freedom to fail.
• Meaningful work pushes us to grow and creates an environment where we treat people equitably and give credit where it's due.
