Why Finding Your Purpose Feels Impossible (And What Actually Works) | Philosophy for Sleep

Tonight we explore the uncomfortable truth about modern purpose-finding. The Ikigai diagram you've seen everywhere? It was invented by a blogger in 2014. Real ikigai from Japanese tradition has nothing to do with career optimization or finding your passion.

We journey through the post-truth landscape where meaning has become harder to grasp than ever before. Viktor Frankl's concentration camp observations revealed something profound about human resilience. His logotherapy offers pathways to meaning that the self-help industry won't tell you about.

Kierkegaard understood anxiety as an invitation, not a malfunction. Heidegger distinguished between living as "the they" versus authentic existence. Sartre declared we are condemned to be free, with no predetermined essence waiting to be discovered.

This isn't about optimization. It's about understanding why purpose feels so elusive in the digital age and what philosophers across centuries have learned about living with that uncertainty.

Let your breathing slow. Allow these ideas to settle into your mind as you drift toward rest.
