The Meaning of Life with Authur Brooks

Back for round two, we sit down again with Arthur Brooks to go even deeper into the science and soul of a meaningful life. In this conversation, we move beyond the fundamentals of happiness and explore what it really takes to sustain it—especially through change, success, setbacks, and the evolving chapters of life. Arthur shares fresh insights on emotional resilience, the hidden challenges of achievement, and how our definition of purpose shifts over time. We also get personal, unpacking habits, mindsets, and daily practices that can help you stay grounded, connected, and fulfilled in a fast-moving world. If you’ve ever wondered how to not just find happiness—but keep it—this episode is for you. Drop your thoughts, questions, or takeaways in the comments—we always love hearing how these conversations resonate with you. And if this episode speaks to you, send it to someone who could use it right now. Love you guys! Shawn & Andrew
