Module 8: Meaning

What gives life meaning?

This module explores the psychology of meaning — how purpose, connection, and contribution give our lives a sense of direction. But meaning isn’t just found in grand missions or lifelong callings. It often grows quietly in the small acts of care, curiosity, or kindness that link us to something bigger than ourselves.

​

​Discover how researchers like Codi Shewan, Adam Grant, and Emily Esfahani Smith unpacked the science behind meaning — and what their insights reveal about our need to matter.
