The Meaning of Your Life: An Evening with Dr. Arthur Brooks
Join Centennial Institute for an incredible evening with noted author and thought leader, Arthur C. Brooks.
Millions today describe a growing sense of emptiness, a lack of purpose and significance. And there’s a reason: Rapid cultural, economic, and technological changes have rewired our brains, reducing their ability to perceive depth and purpose.
In his new book, The Meaning of Your Life, Arthur offers practical, evidence-based strategies for breaking free of the powerful trends and personal habits that dull your focus on the why of your life. Drawing on the great philosophers and the world’s faith traditions, he shows how everyone can—and must—approach life’s most important and mysterious questions, and provides a blueprint that will help even the most skeptical person find a life of spiritual transcendence, passionate love, and true calling.
