After selling over a million books and training thousands of educators worldwide, co-authors of 'Designing Your Life' and 'Designing Your New Work Life' Dave Evans and Bill Burnett kept hearing the same thing from readers: "I did everything right and I'm still not fulfilled." That frustration — amplified by the pandemic and the Great Resignation — is what drove them to write their third book, 'How To Live A Meaningful Life' which helps us all to live find meaning, joy, and flow in our daily lives. In this episdoe Dave explains the following:

Most people chase meaning through impact or fulfillment, he teaches is a better way: stop chasing being fulfilled, start being fully alive
The Scandal of Particularity — you'll never have the perfect experience, and that's the point. Enjoy the imperfect moment in front of you
The Five Mindsets of meaning making: Wonder, Radical Acceptance, Availability, Fully Engaged + Calmly Detached, Create Your World
To accept reality fast and you free yourself to see what it's actually offering you
The Tale of Two Worlds — 98% of life is spent in transactional mode. The flow world, where meaning lives, is always available to you
Coherency Sightings — catch yourself living your values, which makes life feel meaningful and will guide you to live more into who you truly are
Formative Communities — community organized around becoming, not shared interests or tasks
Meaning is closer than you think — you're just not looking in the right place
