Having a sense of purpose is good for our health
People with a sense of purpose live longer and might have healthier immune systems.
Certain experiences can help us find our purpose
They include traveling abroad, spending time in nature, working for social change, and developing a contemplative practice.
Cultivating awe might be another way to sharpen our sense of purpose
Awe connects us to something larger than ourselves, often in the presence of beautiful art, a vast landscape, or a perspective-shifting idea.
Purpose particularly matters at work
Employees with a sense of purpose at work have higher well-being, and companies with a clear sense of purpose are more likely to have strong financial performance.
Purpose can mean many things
Having a sense of meaning or purpose is not always the same as being happy.
