Man Cannot Stand a Meaningless Life

from Eternalised · host Eternalised

Man cannot stand a meaningless life. What is the meaning of life? It is hard to think of a single proposition that can make your life meaningful in an instant. One can, however, orient oneself more meaningfully towards one’s goals. To find meaning is a dynamic process that constantly shapes yourself, immerses yourself in reality and has reality immersed in you.  A meaningful life can be defined according to a positive life regard, referring to an individual’s belief that he is fulfilling a life-framework or life-goal that provides him with a highly valued understanding of his life.  In this episode we explore several models to the development of a positive life regard, the problems of a meaningless life and dangers of nihilism, life affirmation and meaning as embedded in life and Viktor Frankl’s Will to Meaning.👑 Become a Patron⁠⁠⁠⁠Access exclusive material and deeper studies⁠⁠⁠⁠—Support the work☕⁠⁠⁠⁠ Buy a coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠💸 ⁠⁠⁠⁠PayPal⁠⁠⁠⁠👕 ⁠⁠⁠⁠Official Merch⁠⁠⁠⁠—For deeper study📜 ⁠⁠⁠⁠Full transcript⁠⁠⁠⁠📚 ⁠⁠⁠⁠Personal library⁠⁠⁠⁠💡 ⁠⁠⁠⁠eBooks⁠⁠⁠⁠🎨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠Artwork archive⁠⁠⁠⁠Stay connected📨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠✍️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠—Elsewhere🐦 ⁠⁠⁠⁠X⁠⁠⁠⁠📷 ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠📘 ⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠━━━━━━━━━━━━━📚 Recommended Reading ▶ Man and His Symbols – Carl Junghttps://amzn.to/3lYyz94▶ The Gay Science – Friedrich Nietzschehttps://amzn.to/36rijIf▶ Finding Meaning in an Imperfect World – Iddo Landauhttps://amzn.to/3ELycbn▶ Man’s Search for Meaning – Viktor Franklhttps://amzn.to/34aiBkx🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?
