You're saying both of these things.
So here's my question to you.
If you tell someone, you know, you're writing this book.
Let's say you write it and then you die because we'll simplify the example.
And then 30 days later, the world ends.
Let's take two people, one who says, I'm all right at any way, and one who says, there's no point.
Which one of those two people do you think has a greater sense of purpose?
Probably the former.
Absolutely.
So this is the key thing.
Purpose is absolutely β 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 β
People believe β 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.
