Manage episode 449712278 series 3587502
In this episode of the Purpose Project, host Leslie Pagel and guest Ethan Beute delve into the nuances of living without a singular life's purpose. They explore ideas on finding meaning, the significance of context, and the question of whether it's enough to live a life that role models integrity and the Golden Rule. They discuss the impact of society's individualistic view on the concept of purpose, and reflect on how personal and collective motivations intersect. Ethan shares his unique perspective on how to navigate life by focusing on the next right thing and finding meaning in everyday actions, rather than adhering to a monolithic life goal.
