How does one find meaning and purpose in life? Is it even a worthwhile pursuit as we navigate an unpredictable and uncertain world? Can meaning bring us more joy? Does purpose lead to freedom? Is freedom the key to happiness?
Turn on the TV, open up your phone, walk down the street, and we are bombarded by an abundance of well placed stories that tell us that we need something more, better, different. Trillion dollar industries, political movements, entire systems are built on the idea that we always need to be moving forward, growing, bettering ourselves, and it is an ideology that has us sitting in record numbers of mental health, and facing climate catastrophe. What should one do? Keep forcing ahead, continuing to accumulate for a future that is more unpredictable than ever before?
We need to be aware that life is impermanent and inconstant and that this moment will quickly end. Sitting stuck in some trivial thing from the past or miles ahead down the road, will only cause more suffering. We sit around worried about getting things that will make us happy, or to confirm that we are doing well to others, when we are surrounded by beauty each and every day. A beauty that is often missed in our haste.
Sutter, author of Awake and keynote speaker, asks us if meaning and purpose really are the keys we must find in order to be free. He blends the wisdom from great philosophers, thinkers, writers, and doers with practical psychology, storytelling, and his own unique experiences to plant seeds for thought and discussion.
