About this audiobook

The burden of finding a grand mission and exactly why purpose-driven living can create suffering through unrealistic expectations impossible to fulfill. This liberating perspective reveals how meaning emerges from engagement rather than existing as destination to be found somewhere. Learn why living well matters more than living for something specific and why purpose often comes after action not before it.
