How to Find Meaning in Your Work with Arthur Brooks

As work and life accelerate, many people are asking the same question: Why doesn’t success feel like enough?

Harvard professor and best-selling author Arthur Brooks calls this the growing “meaning gap,” and he says it’s one of the most important challenges facing the modern workforce today.

In this conversation with Hello Monday host Jessi Hempel, Arthur shares insights from his new book, The Meaning of Your Life: Finding Purpose in an Age of Emptiness—a culmination of years of research on why meaning feels so elusive today—along with practical ways to reconnect with what truly matters. He introduces his 80/20/0 formula for evaluating opportunities and explains how modern technology pushes your brain away from meaning-making and toward constant productivity.
