Two seminal crises of the early 21st century – the 9/11 terrorist attacks and COVID-19 pandemic – have led emerging generations of workers to prioritize the meaning and purpose of work. At the same time, other social and environmental crises are threatening, capitalism is evolving, and technology is advancing. In this book, a philosopher and organizational psychologist who together research meaningful work consider what these forces mean for whether work might give meaning and purpose to our lives or take it away. The authors introduce key concepts – meaning, purpose, and work, among others – and consider how they show up in individuals’ experience of work, what role organizations play in cultivating them, and the responsibilities of markets and states to the individuals and organizations working within them. Each chapter includes questions and prompts for review and reflection for students and workers who read the book. The final chapter concludes by introducing an original “6 P” framework for making sense of the functional and moral purpose of work among individuals, organizations, and systems: to pursue and perform, provide and produce, and price and protect work. Readers will emerge with an understanding of the meaning of meaning as well as a practical appreciation for the role of meaning in their own work, the managerial responsibilities they may have for serving the purpose of the organization they work for, and the societal challenges that make the quest for meaningful work a timely imperative

Introduction: The Current Reality of Work and Life In today’s world, the structure of our work lives often feels more like a trap than a choice. The daily grind, the relentless rush to meet deadlines, and the pressure to climb the corporate ladder have become the hallmarks of a system that prioritizes productivity over personal well-being and fulfillment. People wake up early, rush to work, and often spend long hours in front of a computer or at a worksite, with little time to focus on their passions, relationships, or health. For many, the workweek is an obligation, not an opportunity. At the core of this issue lies the very notion of "work" itself. For generations, work has been tied to survival. It's seen as a necessary evil—a means to an end. We work to pay bills, to support our families, and to secure a future. But what happens when we lose sight of the fact that work should also bring meaning, joy, and growth? In this section, we will explore how work has evolved from a means of survival to a system that often leaves us feeling drained, unfulfilled, and disconnected. We will take a closer look at how societal expectations, financial pressures, and outdated systems trap us in jobs that don't align with our true interests or values. Most importantly, we will highlight the toll this takes on our mental and physical well-being, as well as the creativity and productivity that are stifled when work is reduced to mere obligation. The modern workweek, typically structured around five days of intense labor, has become a routine for most. The two-day weekend is viewed as the only time to "live," but this short window of freedom rarely offers enough time to rest, recharge, or pursue personal goals. For many, the weekend becomes a frantic attempt to make up for the lack of time during the week. The stress of work and the fear of financial instability overshadow the freedom that weekends are supposed to provide. This chapter will set the stage for a reimagining of what work could be—one where people are no longer bound by fear, but instead empowered to choose work that aligns with their purpose and passions. We’ll explore how breaking free from the traditional work model could lead to a more balanced, fulfilling life—where we live every day, not just the weekend.

The Enlightenment of Work is about ending the suffering when we feel anger, misery and unhappiness with unenlightened work. This book is essential for anyone wishing to: Transform your suffering at work: Suffering can come in many ways. It can come through feeling aimless and bored where the only reason for being there is to collect a salary each month. It can come through stress, overwork and burnout. This book offers a simple philosophy: suffering happens - but we can transform that suffering. Realise their innate gifts, talents and purpose: Most work disconnects us from knowing our authentic self - our essence or soul. Trust your courage, ideas, intuition, and discover your true self. Reclaim their time: Time is your most precious resource and one you cannot afford to waste. However, many of us work in busy environments that leave little time for real thinking or reflection, or for doing anything very new or interesting. Busy and idle minds can get locked into different forms of anxiety about the past and the future. The changing world of work demands emotional and spiritual intelligence. No one has to stay with work that oppresses the spirit. This new world is about choice.

A series of shifts are happening in our economy: Millennials are trading in conventional career paths to launch tech start-ups, start small businesses that are rooted in local communities, or freelance their expertise. We are sharing everything, from bikes and cars, to extra rooms in our homes. We now create, buy and sell handcrafted products in our local communities with ease. Globally recognized entrepreneur, founder of Taproot Foundation and CEO of Imperative, Aaron Hurst, argues in his latest book that while these developments seem unrelated at first, taken together they reveal a powerful pattern that points to purpose as the new driver of the American economy. Like the Information Economy, which has driven innovation and economic growth until now, Hurst argues that our new economic era is driven by connecting people to their purpose. It's an economy where value lies in establishing purpose for employees and customers through serving needs greater than their own, enabling personal growth and building community. Based on interviews with thousands of entrepreneurs, Hurst shows this new era is already fueling demand for a whole host of products and services and transforming how millennials view their careers. A new breed of startups like Etsy, Zaarly, Tough Mudder, Kickstarter, and Airbnb are finding new ways to create value by connecting us with our local communities. At the same time, companies like Tesla and Whole Foods are making the march from just appealing to affluent buyers to becoming mainstream brands. Hurst calls these companies, along with the pioneering entrepreneurs who founded them, the Purpose Economy's taste-makers. This book is at once a personal memoir of Aaron Hurst’s own awakening as a purpose driven entrepreneur, when he left a well-paying tech job in 2001 to launch Taproot, creating a pathway for millions of professionals and Fortune 500 companies to volunteer for nonprofits. It's also a blueprint for a new economic era that is transforming companies, markets and our careers to better serve people and the world.

Demonstrates how students and educators can resist narrow, utilitarian views of higher educations purpose. While the search for meaning and purpose appears to be a constant throughout human history, there are characteristics about our current time period that make this search different from any other previous time, particularly for college students. In this book, Perry L. Glanzer, Jonathan P. Hill, and Byron R. Johnson explore college students search for meaning and purpose and the role that higher education plays. To shed empirical light on this complex issue, the authors draw on in-depth interviews with four hundred college students from different types of institutions across the United States. They also analyze three sets of national survey data: the National Study of Youth and Religion, College Students Beliefs and Values, and their own Gallup-conducted survey of 2,500 college students. Their research identifies important social, educational, and cultural influences that shape students quests and the answers they find. Arguing against a utilitarian view of education, Glanzer, Hill, and Johnson conclude that colleges and universities can and should cultivate and aid students in their journeys, and they offer suggestions for doing so.
