This book explores what it means to live a purposeful life and
outlines the benefits associated with purpose across different life
domains. It also demonstrates that purpose in life is not reducible
to constructs such as happiness, well-being, or identity
development. The importance of having a sense of purpose in life is
attracting renewed attention in both scientific and social arenas.
Mounting evidence from intricately designed experiments and
large-scale studies reveals how pursuing a purpose can make a
person happier, healthier, and even lengthen their lifespan.
However, existing texts on purpose have said little on why having
has these effects, how it may influence our ability to navigate
diverse environments, or how best to consider the construct from a
multidisciplinary approach that moves beyond psychology.
Recognizing this gap in the literature, this book provides
multidisciplinary perspectives on the topic of purpose, and
examines what we can do as researchers, interventionists, and
society as a whole to imbue purposefulness in the lives of people
across the lifespan. It includes contributions from key figures on
topics such as identity, health, youth programs and youth purpose,
diversity, aging and work.
