In this episode of Sufferless with a Part-Time Monk, bestselling author Tim Tamashiro (How to Ikigai) shows you why purpose doesn’t have to be a mystery or a midlife crisis. Through the Sufferless Shift (Default → Deliberation → Design), you’ll learn how to spot the everyday sparks that already give your life meaning.

You’ll discover:

• Why your brain’s “Default mode” tricks you into thinking purpose is missing.
• How to pause and notice small moments of joy and contribution.
• The That Counts exercise for gathering real-life evidence of your purpose.
• How positive psychology’s PERMA model (Positive Emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, Accomplishment) connects to living a purposeful life.
• Why naming your ikigai as a simple “to” statement turns purpose into a daily practice.

If you’ve ever asked “What’s my purpose in life?”—this episode will help you see that the answer isn’t far away. It’s right here, in the ordinary moments that matter most.
