This podcast episode explores the concept of purpose and its profound impact on our lives. Purpose provides a sense of direction and meaning, and research has consistently shown that it is strongly associated with better health outcomes, cognitive benefits, and higher income. Having a sense of purpose helps individuals navigate life's challenges, maintain emotional stability, and make wise decisions. It can be cultivated through gradual exploration, responding to major life events, or learning from others. Societies that have a collective sense of purpose are more likely to thrive. Purpose is especially important for young people growing up in disadvantaged circumstances, as it can provide hope and inspiration for a better future.
