The Power of Meaning

There is a cultural belief that happiness is the greatest goal we can pursue, while obtaining meaning in life takes years of spiritual study and practice and therefore remains out of grasp for most.

By applying Emily’s four pillars, you can experience meaning in your everyday life. In this video you will:

  • Learn from the lessons of positive psychology and Viktor Frankl.
  • Understand how creating meaning offers benefits beyond happiness alone.
  • Discover four pillars that will help you pursue your own personal meaning in life.
