In this new episode host Dr. Arthur Brooks reflects on why goal-setting is often misunderstood and why it matters so deeply. The episode explores the difference between meaning and purpose, and how the goals we choose — often without much reflection — influence the direction our lives take over time. Rather than focusing only on achievement, the discussion invites listeners to think more carefully about how goals shape what we value and how we live.

Arthur Brooks shares science-based strategies for building a happier, more meaningful life. New episodes usually air every Monday.
