Seeking Meaning and Purpose?

Don't give up

This Website offers a different approach to meaning and purpose - one based on psychological research that identified the defining constituents of what it is actually like to live without it and what were the essential factors in the process of people who have found meaning and purpose after being without it for long periods.

What the Research Found

Meaninglessness?
is Living without Value

Purposelessness?
Being without valued and achievable goals

What traps you in meaninglessness is

A Self-concept that has been

choked by past experience

So you expect
you cannot experience value

Because
value-destroying events have crowded out
Your true, multi-faceted Self
Your dependable strengths
What you value
and
prevented you
Marching to to your own drum

Just existing,

Routinely going through the motions ?

Missing something?

Drifting through life,

a bit empty or even so empty

that nothing seems to matter?

Stuck,

with life not going anywhere

or maybe you have no idea

where you want it to go.

Or

Unsatisfied, unfulfilled

Despite achieving, self-help

& therapy

there's always

something missing.

For therapists

Answers to questions of meaning and purpose often begin with philosophical ideas, religious beliefs, psychological theories or assumptions about how people ought to live.

Crafting Meaning and Purpose began differently. These influences were deliberately set aside in order to investigate meaning and purpose through careful psychological study of lived experience itself.

The research sought to identify what was common to experiences of meaninglessness — and to the pathways by which people developed lives experienced as meaningful and purposeful.

This website translates the findings into practical understanding, activities and resources, while also supporting further research into questions that emerged from them.
