One of the core ideas in this new series, Purpose by Design, is that meaning isn't something you stumble into, it's something you build.

But most people don't pause long enough to actually ask the questions that matter, such as, why am I doing what I'm doing?

What is this all for?

And does this life actually feel like mine?

On theignitedlife.net, I'm sharing companion reflections and articles for each episode designed to help you go deeper into your own life.

Because insight creates awareness, but reflection creates direction.

If you want to explore the companion guide for this episode, you can visit theignitedlife.net.

And I also want to give a shout out to our sponsors and thank them for supporting our show.

Now, a quick break for those sponsors.

You're listening to Passion Struck right here on the Passion Struck Network.

Now, let's return to the conversation with Arthur Brooks.

And as you were talking, it made me think of Frankl because when he describes how do you find meaning, he gives three different areas that you can do it through work.

You can do it through love and the relationships that you cherish.

It could be taking care of a sick child.

that you have.

It could be caring for a loved one like a parent as they age.

And then he says suffering.

But I also believe there could be a fourth, which is something you go into in the book.

Dacher Keltner was the first time I heard this, which is moral beauty.
