Dr. K

Purpose is absolutely – because I love that you're asking about mechanisms, and I think maybe that's what I can provide.

I think that's actually the answer, right?

So it's not that –

People believe – and I think you're right that the reason that this is a perennial problem is because most people do not live a life where they understand how purpose works.

And what I think is really fascinating about sort of like this scientific clinical approach, like if you ask me, can I help people find meaning and purpose?

I don't know.

But if you ask me, can I help a person?

The answer is absolutely.

And we have like particular scientific things.

And this is where it's really counterintuitive.

So a big part of like finding purpose is doing particular things.

And if you do those things, the likelihood that you will increase your sense of purpose in life, which is another thing that's very counterintuitive to people.

Purpose is not binary.

It's quantifiable.

It's like a scale.

So if I were to ask the three of y'all, right, maybe let's do this, not a thought experiment, but this practical experiment.

Do you know your purpose in life?

Like how confident are you that you're doing what you're supposed to be doing in life?

Perfect, right?

So, Stephen, what about you, bro?
