Demystifying Purpose with Emory’s New Purpose Professor: What Matters Most to You and How to Make it Happen

Purpose is one of those big ideas that we muse about in late-night conversations … and promptly put aside in the light of day. It’s a concept that can feel a little daunting, but research points to the fact that boosting our sense of purpose is good for our health and well-being. Living purposefully leads to more fulfilling relationships, better sleep, better sex, and even more rewarding and profitable careers.

Host Charles Raison is joined by Dr. Christine B. Whelan, Emory University’s new purpose professor for a podcast that will demystify and define the concept of purpose. They will take you through the steps to create your own personal purpose statement and frame the questions so that you can anticipate the practical and emotional obstacles on your path to purpose.
 
Featuring:

Dr. Christine Whelan, Author, Professor, Speaker

Host:

Charles Raison, Psychiatrist, Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Emory University
