The Pursuit of Meaning - with Dr. Lauren Gilbert

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of...meaning? Believe it or not, people who pursue happiness are scientifically LESS happy (and more stressed and less healthy) than people who pursue something else entirely: meaning. But what does pursuing "meaning" actually MEAN? Dr. Lauren Gilbert breaks down the science today on THRIVE. We also talk about living "authentically" - and how showing up with your God-given gifts is just as important and authentic as showing up "relatably" with your shame rooms and junk drawers. Dr. Lauren loves looking at the intersections of science and faith, so today's conversation gives a good look at the both/and of living an authentic, meaningful life!   CONNECT WITH DR.
