About the Course

Welcome to Finding Purpose and Meaning in Life: Living for What Matters Most! In this course, you’ll learn how science, philosophy and practice all play a role in both finding your purpose and living a purposeful life. You will hear from historical figures and individuals about their journeys to finding and living a purposeful life, and will walk through different exercises to help you find out what matters most to you so you can live a purposeful life. As an added benefit, you will also have complimentary access, for a period of time, to the Purposeful App. This groundbreaking mobile and desktop app is designed to help you build a purposeful rhythm into each day, so you can bring your best self to what matters most.

Know how self-transcending purpose positively affects well-being. 3. Be able to create a purpose for your life (don't be intimidated, this is different from creating "the purpose" for your life). 4.

I abolutely loved this. It has helped me tremendously in my understanding of self and setting a personal transcending purpose. And Vic, thank you for sharing your story. It made me tear up at the end.

I found this course beneficial in focusing my thinking about what is and should be important to me in life. Taking a self-critical approach to this issue has been difficult but revealing and freeing

Interesting in parts, but I didn't get out of it what I hoped, which is how to make big decisions in life based on your purpose. Focus was more on small daily habits. Also, professor plugs his own commercial app in every video, so it makes it seem as much like an advertisement for his paid app as anything else.

This course should change it's title. It's not as much about finding your purpose as it is discussing how important purpose is in our lives. It's interesting and provides some useful tools IF you already have a purpose, but if you're attempting to discover your purpose, you will find it lacking.

Science is not very sound here, especially when they get to explaining data. Statistics that don't account for all the factors, like, idk, GENETICS when it comes to old age issues are trash. So this course is pretty meh. I still don't know what my core beliefs are 🤷🏻♀️

I wanted to use the purposeful app along the course, but I could not setup an account as I needed an invitation from the company that created the app.

It was a fun experience . the nice thing about the questions was that they were direct and easy , mostly used my common information to answer.

The most useful part I found was the questions that lead to defining your own goals (be goal - do goal - action goal).
