13. Man’s search for meaning

If you've lost the meaning of life, should you be upset and rush to find it again?

A traditional psychological issue for a person standing at the midpoint of life’s journey is a crisis of meaning. The goals and purposes that once worked no longer do, and new ones have yet to emerge. But is that really the root of the problem?

In this episode, we’ll explore a different perspective—one in which meaninglessness is seen as a symptom — and see what kind of conclusions we arrive at in the end.


Authors and Thinkers Mentioned in This Episode:

- Carl Gustav Jung

- Viktor Frankl

- Jordan Peterson

- Søren Kierkegaard

- Paul Tillich

- James Hollis
