You 2.0: What Is Your Life For?

The question of what to do with one's life has no universal answer, but scientific methods can help individuals find harmony with themselves and the world. Researcher Victor Strecher discusses the science of creating a meaningful life in a recent episode. This episode kicks off the annual You 2.0 series, which focuses on purpose and passion. The series is designed for those feeling adrift, alone, or burned out, particularly at the midpoint of the year. Listeners can share follow-up questions or ideas with the Hidden Brain audience by recording a voice memo and emailing it to ideas@hiddenbrain.org with the subject line "purpose." The episode is part of a larger series exploring purpose and passion. The Hidden Brain podcast is hosted by Shankar, who is currently on a live tour across the U.S. and Canada. The tour is based on key ideas learned in the first decade of the show. Those interested in attending a live event can visit hiddenbrain.org/tour to see if the tour is coming to their city. The podcast aims to provide helpful insights and methods for individuals seeking a more meaningful life. By exploring the science of purpose, the podcast hopes to inspire listeners to make positive changes in their lives.
