How do we find purpose in life?
This is what I study--how people find their purpose in life.
Our Life Purpose Lab has developed a new approach to finding purpose. It's the Possibility Management Model. It identifies how people create, learn about, and enact the most meaningful possibilities in their lives.
Using this model, we created a workshop that guides people in finding their own purpose. Over five hundred people have participated in it, and about 5 out of 6 report significantly greater understanding of their purpose in life. They are also happier and more satisfied with their lives. These workshops, in turn, continually teach us more about how purpose works.

In this group workshop, participants explore their own purpose in life as well as how to engage the purpose of the group.
