Does life have meaning? PART 1: John VERVAEKE on Solving the meaning crisis
Manage episode 432845404 series 3002017
PART 1 of Does life have meaning Series: How do we find meaning (and happiness) in the contemporary age?
Humans have a special need for meaning in their life. A life without meaning, many would agree, has no value. But what does meaning actually mean? And how can we ensure our life is full of it?
Professor of Psychology and Cognitive Science John Vervaeke has dedicated much of his research precisely to this question. He is well-known for his attempts to define a meaningful life in an age characterised by increasing rates of depression and loneliness. He has also been at the forefront of efforts to treat studies on mindfulness and related topics with seriousness in academia.
In this talk, he gives the lay of the land: why are we devoid of meaning in the current moment, and what can we do about it?
Our London festival is coming up on 21-22 September at Hampstead Heath! Make sure to book your tickets while they are available here: https://howthelightgetsin.org/.
