Episode notes
Two Types of Purpose
- Purpose is not one thing, but two: Big P and little p.
- Big P is audacious and goal-oriented, while little p is process-oriented and joyful.
Meaning vs. Purpose
- Big P purpose often seeks to solve a meaning problem, not a purpose problem.
- True happiness comes from addressing meaning (past) and purpose (present/future).
Reframing Meaning
- Address negative meaning through therapy or narrative therapy.
- Reframe past narratives to find a sense of enoughness.
