Jonathan Fields sits down with Dave Evans, coauthor of the bestseller “Designing Your Life” and cofounder of Stanford’s Life Design Lab, to explore why the pursuit of meaning can become frustrating. Evans discusses his new book “How to Live a Meaningful Life” and explains how shifting attention toward lived experience can help you feel more alive.
Key takeaways include:
- Chasing fulfillment and impact can turn into traps rather than answers.
- Meaning often emerges from everyday experiences, not major achievements.
- Presence, wonder, and connection reshape how life actually feels.
