Derek Hagen - Exploring the Role of Money in Creating a Meaningful Life

from Standard Deviations with Dr. Daniel Crosby · host Derek Hagen, Dr. Daniel Crosby

Tune in to hear: - What is the three part formula for meaning that Derek has proposed and how do these three aspects tend to shape a meaningful life? - What is the role of money in getting these three parts to work in unison? Can money help our lives be more purposeful, coherent and significant? - Why do we sometimes seem hardwired to pursue the “thin meaning” when the “thick meaning” is often accessible and a lot more conducive to our long-term happiness? - How can an awareness of our own finitude help prompt better financial decision making? - How can we introduce a practice of talking about end of life things in a country where these kinds of discussions are a bit frowned upon? - How can we make the idea of our future self more practical, more real and more salient? www.moneyhealth.blog Compliance Code: 2255-OAS-11/21/2022
