The history of human meaning and purpose.

In today’s world, we’re bombarded with more options for lifestyles, belief systems, and social movements than ever before. While they all demand our attention, how can we really know which path will provide us with the most meaning and fulfilment?

In this timely exploration, Dr. Mark Hawkins takes us on a journey from the Paleolithic to the 21st century to figure out why we are collectively experiencing a crisis of meaning. Through insights informed by philosophy, psychology, and anthropology, he shows us why we feel profoundly mismatched with our modern-day reality.

Boredom is part of being human. Embrace it.

Our tolerance for boredom is diminishing quickly. But avoiding boredom prevents us from using it to create a life full of meaning and purpose.   

Drawing from psychology, philosophy, and personal experiences, Dr. Hawkins shows us that boredom can be seen as spaces in time available for self and life transformation. 

Reminders for living aligned with your goals.

When we decide to pursue our dreams and goals, it can feel like everything and everyone is conspiring to sabotage us.

We can come up with the best schedules and routines, but our motivation won’t last unless we have powerful reasons to keep going. We need a purpose for what we do. 

This book provides succinct, yet impactful reasons for pursuing our desires by targeting underlying beliefs and assumptions that hold us back using reflections from philosophers, thinkers, and creators, past and present.
