But beneath the surface, he argues, this isn’t just a mental health crisis. It’s a meaning crisis.We’ve built a world optimized for achievement, productivity, and constant stimulation—yet increasingly disconnected from the deeper human needs that make life feel worth living. In this conversation, we explore why success without meaning often leads to emptiness, how modern life pulls us away from purpose, and what it actually takes to build a life rooted in coherence, significance, and service.Passion Struck is the #1 alternative health and personal growth podcast dedicated to human flourishing and the science of mattering. It is ranked #1 on FeedSpot’s list of the Top Passion Podcasts on the Web and is consistently recognized among the world’s top business and mindset podcasts.Check the full show notes here: https://passionstruck.com/arthur-brooks-the-meaning-of-your-life/ Explore guided prompts, reflections, and a companion reflection guide connected to this episode at: https://www.theignitedlife.net/p/why-we-are-losing-the-war-for-meaning Thank You to Our SponsorsLimited Time Offer – Get Huel today with my exclusive offer of 15% OFF online with my code PASSION at huel.com/passion .
