The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
Atheist vs Christian vs Spiritualist: The Paperclip Problem That Exposes Religion!

You're saying both of these things.

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
Atheist vs Christian vs Spiritualist: The Paperclip Problem That Exposes Religion!

So here's my question to you.

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett

If you tell someone, you know, you're writing this book.

Which one of those two people do you think has a greater sense of purpose?

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
Atheist vs Christian vs Spiritualist: The Paperclip Problem That Exposes Religion!

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

Atheist vs Christian vs Spiritualist: The Paperclip Problem That Exposes Religion!

I think that's actually the answer, right?

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?

Atheist vs Christian vs Spiritualist: The Paperclip Problem That Exposes Religion!

I don't know.

Atheist vs Christian vs Spiritualist: The Paperclip Problem That Exposes Religion!

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
Atheist vs Christian vs Spiritualist: The Paperclip Problem That Exposes Religion!
