Meaning Beyond Happiness

This explores the concept of meaning through the passionate lens of Guru Anand Bodhi, former corporate executive turned mindfulness teacher. In his distinctive motivational yet mystical style, Bodhi unpacks meaning's linguistic, philosophical, and psychological dimensions while differentiating it from purpose and happiness. He weaves together insights from Viktor Frankl and Carl Jung alongside personal anecdotes about his own journey from corporate burnout to spiritual awakening. The piece examines how meaning emerges through connection, coherence, and values-aligned living, suggesting that meaning isn't found in grand achievements but in authentic engagement with everyday experiences. Through Bodhi's signature blend of ancient wisdom and modern science, the article offers practical guidance for cultivating meaning through contemplative practices like meditation and fasting.
