So that's how you find dharma.

For me, finding meaning and purpose is like a very practical thing.

And that's what I want to talk about today.

What I would say that science and spirituality can really add is it's effective in terms of reducing suicidality, improving resilience, giving them a reason to wake up in the morning.

And we'll get into that.

So I would recommend that they... You're spot on, Alex.

So the first thing to understand is it is an internal feeling.

And we found in our study that if you... Your sense of purpose increases by 68%.

You know, it's interesting.

You mentioned a lot about mental health.

I'm a psychiatrist.

So for me, finding meaning and purpose is like a very practical thing.

So literally, a patient will come into my office.

They'll say, I have no reason to live.

There's nothing worth it in life.

I am suicidal.

I want to kill myself.

So I have a job as a clinician to like fix that problem in a very like practical way.

So I've got, you know, a couple of weeks, hopefully 15, 20 weeks to teach them how to find purpose.

And so usually the way that I approach that is there's a lot of sort of evidence-based scientific approaches to finding purpose.
