Meaning Making

Our brains seem to be hard-wired to look for meaning. We interpret all kinds of situations and objects with a focus on what they mean. Driving a certain car, having a particular handbag, or jewelry from a specific store can mean something about a person's status. Walking under a ladder or breaking a mirror can mean ‘bad luck’ while finding a four-leaf clover or hanging up a horseshoe can mean ‘good luck’. In this episode of Get Big Out Loud, we’ll explore ideas around meaning making, discuss the purpose of meaning, and to what degree meaning has value.
