CHAPTER

Finding Purpose in Life Narratives

This chapter explores the critical roles of purpose and meaning in shaping happiness and life satisfaction. It contrasts how personal narratives affect our perceptions and well-being, as illustrated through the lives of twin siblings with vastly different interpretations of their shared past. The discussion emphasizes narrative therapy, reflective practices, and the importance of actively creating a sense of purpose, while also addressing the pressures that contribute to purpose anxiety in modern society.
