Do you ever feel like life is just a series of to-do lists? Do you sometimes wonder, “Is this all there is?” Or maybe you’ve been told to “find your purpose,” but the idea feels overwhelming or out of reach. If you’ve ever struggled to find meaning in your day-to-day life, this episode is for you.
My guest is Stanford Professor Dave Evans. He's the co-author of How to Have a Meaningful Life. Dave shares his insights on how to create a life filled with meaning—without needing to quit your job, move across the world, or completely reinvent yourself.
Some of the things we discuss are:
- Why chasing impact or fulfillment alone can leave you feeling empty
- The myth of “finding your one true purpose” and what to do instead
- How to experience more meaning in your daily routine without adding more to your plate
- The difference between the “transactional world” and the “flow world” and how to access both
- How to align who you are, what you believe, and what you do for a more coherent life
- The power of asking deeper questions to build formative communities that help you grow
If you’ve ever felt stuck in the grind or wondered how to make your life feel more meaningful, this episode will give you actionable tools and a fresh perspective to start living fully right now.
