And I'm happy to welcome you back for number four when the next book comes out.

Right on.

That brings us to the end of today's conversation with Arthur Brooks.

What stood out most to me is this.

Meaning hasn't disappeared, but our way of living has made it harder to access.

We've built lives around productivity, around efficiency, around constant stimulation.

But in doing so, we've drifted away from the very things that create meaning, such as love, service, connection and transcendence.

Arthur reminds us that a meaningful life isn't found in what you accumulate, it's found in how you relate to others, to your work, and to something greater than yourself.

And that insight leads directly into our next conversation.

On Thursday, I'm joined by Corinne Lowe.

While today's episode explored meaning at a deeper personal level, Corinne examines how the systems around us, such as work incentives and economic structures, shape the choices we make and the lives we build.

Because purpose isn't formed in isolation, it's influenced by the environments we operate within.

It's a powerful continuation of purpose by design, moving from inner meaning to the external structures that shape it.

Until next time, remember, a meaningful life isn't something you find once, it's something you build through what you choose to value, how you choose to serve, and who you choose to become.
