Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • My default setting is to evaluate myself constantly
  • I keep chasing my own happiness head-on and it keeps slipping away
  • My days feel small and self-enclosed, all about me and my own little concerns, and the times I’ve felt most lifted out of myself were when I was caught up in something bigger than me
  • I’m up against something I genuinely cannot change
  • Even doing things I care about, I’m stuck watching myself the whole time

    Practice fully absorbing the experiences that matter most rather than rushing past them.
    Frankl’s Three Sources of Meaning
  7. Frankl’s Three Sources of Meaning
    Viktor Frankl identified three routes to meaning: creative values (what you give to the world through work or creation), experiential values (what you receive from beauty, love, or truth), and attitudinal values (the stance you take toward unavoidable suffering). The framework is theoretical and clinical; it is most useful as a diagnostic — identifying which source is most depleted in your current life.
  8. Self-Transcendence: Beyond the Self
    Self-transcendence is the shift of focus beyond one’s own needs toward something larger — other people, a cause, the sacred, or life itself — and is consistently linked in research to meaning and well-being. Cultivating it is less about lofty experiences than about regularly turning attention and effort outward; the practices below are well-grounded, though much of the direct evidence is observational.
  9. Exercise the last human freedom
    Between what happens to you and your response, there is a space — and your freedom lives there.
    Man’s Search for Meaning, Made Practical
  10. Bring contemplative attention to ordinary moments
