Finding Meaning In The New Age of Anxiety

from Thanks For Asking · host Feelings & Co.

The world doesn’t make a lot of sense right now, including other people and why they think the things they think and do the things they do. So I’m tapping in Steven J. Heine, professor of Social and Cultural Psychology and the author of Start Making Sense: How Existential Psychology Can Help Us Build Meaningful Lives in Absurd Times to talk about: -How these times are actually kind of precedented by the Age of Anxiety -How we make meaning -How our stories drive our choices, and our choices make our stories -A million other things.
