HOW MEANING MOTIVATES PEOPLE TO SUCCEED

A lot of people believe money creates a path to meaning; but, in fact, meaning might be the path to more money. When
people find fulfillment in their work, they are better able to overcome barriers and reach success. “Existential
entrepreneurs” are people who channel their individual sense of meaning to build a better society, whether they are
starting a business, supporting a family, or spreading an idea.

Human Flourishing Lab Director Dr. Clay Routledge finds that people who adopt a “meaning mindset” are the most likely to pursue their ambitions.
