Dear Reader,
I believe, worldwide, we are currently in a collective crisis for meaning.
We’re experiencing anxiety, loneliness, overwhelm, and disconnect more than ever before for a multitude of reasons. We’re asking ourselves: What really matters? How is my life significant? Where do I belong?
Despite external accolades, many, myself included, lose a sense of aliveness, joy and purpose.
After several disorienting life events, I began looking for frameworks to expand the definition of success, and have been exploring what a meaningful life looks and feels like in modern society. My findings helped me to heal from my excommunication from the Mormon Church in my twenties and my brother’s death shortly after the 9/11 attacks.
It is my hope that this book finds you at the right moment. Whether you are facing a challenge much greater than you believe you can navigate, or are experiencing grief, exhaustion, or simply questioning life’s purpose, I hope Meaning Indicator reminds you to keep going and that the stories within, both mine and others’, inspire your heart and soul.
