In this video, Emily Esfahani emphasizes the importance of giving our existence a sense of meaning. “I began to see that there is this messaging constantly that a good life is a happy life,” the writer explains. This was a message that didn’t resonate with her personal experience. As a child immersed in a Sufi meditation community, she noticed many people were not seeking happiness, yet their lives were still full of meaning. Esfahani decided to conduct her research from a multidisciplinary perspective that included sociology, neuroscience and philosophy, which were cornerstones for building a fulfilling and meaningful life. She discusses and delves into the four pillars that she discovered: belonging, purpose, storytelling and transcendence.
