  7. 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.
