What should you do with your life? There's no one-size-fits-all answer to that question. But there are scientifically-tested methods that can help you to feel more aligned with yourself and the world. This week, we bring you a special episode from our friends at the Hidden Brain podcast. Host Shankar Vedantam talks with researcher Victor Strecher about the science of creating a life full of meaning. It's the kickoff to Hidden Brain's annual You 2.0 series, which this year focuses on purpose and passion. If you’ve reached the midpoint of the year and you’re feeling adrift, alone, or burned out, you can find the episodes in that series in the Hidden Brain podcast feed.
