Life Purpose Development: A Foundation for Discovering Meaning and Direction
Course Description
What is my purpose? Why am I here? What gives my life meaning? These are among the most profound questions a person can ask. While there are no simple answers, the field of positive psychology and related disciplines offer powerful frameworks for exploring purpose and meaning.
This foundation course introduces you to the concept of life purpose, distinguishes it from related ideas like goals and values, and provides practical tools for discovering and cultivating your own sense of purpose. Drawing on research from Viktor Frankl’s logotherapy, self-determination theory, and contemporary studies on meaning and well-being, you will engage in reflective exercises designed to clarify what truly matters to you and how you can live in greater alignment with your deepest values.
