You THINK You Want Meaning, But You Really Want This.

Many of us spend years chasing purpose, fulfillment, and impact, only to feel strangely empty when we finally get there. In this episode of Good Life Project, Jonathan Fields sits down with Dave Evans, coauthor of Designing Your Life and cofounder of Stanford’s Life Design Lab, to explore why meaning so often slips through our fingers. Dave offers a grounded and deeply human reframe. Instead of treating meaning as something to achieve, he invites us to experience it through aliveness, presence, and everyday moments of connection. Together, they explore the difference between the transactional world of getting things done and the flow world of being fully here, along with four accessible sources of meaning that most people overlook. This conversation blends science, wisdom, and practical tools to help you feel more alive without needing to overhaul your life. If you’re navigating burnout, midlife questions, or a quiet sense of dissatisfaction, this episode offers a refreshing path forward. ========== Want to live a better life?
