Research shows that building purpose overwhelming improves mental health.
Here’s what the experts are saying.
“The research is clear: while absorption in purposeful tasks may be strenuous is also brings back a deep sense of satisfaction, wellbeing and exhilaration.” - William Damon, Professor at Stanford University and Director at the Stanford Center for Adolescence
“A sense of something greater than yourself can alleviate the stress, anxiety, depression and burnout that so many of our young people today are feeling. In young people, this outlook has been shown to curb self-destructive impulses.” - Jennifer Wallace, New York Times Bestseller, Never Enough
““This is the world in which Gen Z was raised. It was a world in which adults, schools and other institutions worked together to teach children that the world is dangerous and to prevent them from experiencing the risks, conflicts and thrills that their experience-expectant brains needed to overcome anxiety.” -Jonathan Haidt, Social Psychologist at NYU and #1 New York Times Bestselling Author, The Anxious Generation
