ARTHUR'S TALK: Finding purpose in an Age of Emptiness
Recent research shows people invest more deeply in their work when it feels meaningful, yet only about one-third of U.S.employees are engaged at work. At the same time, global trends point to a growing hunger for meaning in life itself.

Brooks as he names the forces making meaningharder to find – and offers a way forward. Drawing on research in behavioral science, psychology and human flourishing,Brooks reveals how modern life has reshaped the way we think about purpose, fulfillment and significance. Walk awaywith practical, evidence-based wisdom to pursue a more meaningful life and a clearer vocabulary for your desires.
