Compassionately Finding Your Purpose

Compassionately Finding Your Purpose

Purpose is something that nearly everyone needs for a fulfilling life, and unfortunately, it's something that many people lack in their lives. Knowing your purpose brings intimacy with life, your calling and the strength to execute in making it happen. Knowing your purpose means knowing your unique place in the world and how to take steps to realize your purpose in action.

We build an appreciation of your purpose by exploring your preferences across a wide range of holistic approaches. A loss/lack of purpose can unfortunately result in depression, and a host of other unfavorable outcomes, so let's take some time getting to know ourselves and insights from others! Importantly, we wrap around the critical understanding that not just one of our six components to purpose has to be the only source of motivation, that in fact many can derive their sense of purpose from multiple sources.

This program brings together cutting edge research content and applications driven by Stanford affiliated psychologists on an intuitive online learning platform.
