Psychologists say that a strong sense of purpose has very powerful mental and physical benefits. But what does purpose bring to our lives? How do you find purpose?
Psychiatrist Victor Frankl said "life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by a lack of meaning and purpose." In the last few years there has been an explosion in our understanding of purpose, and its positive effects.
According to psychologists, a strong sense of purpose has powerful mental and physical benefits and can even extend our life spans. But what exactly does purpose bring to our lives? What are the different varieties of purpose we can adopt? Why do some people feel a powerful new sense of purpose after recovery from trauma or life-threatening events?
Psychologist and author Dr. Steve Taylor, Senior Lecturer at Leeds Beckett University and leading expert and on psychology and spirituality, will be in The Garden to reveal the different types of purpose and why purpose is so important to our wellbeing.
