Follow on Google News | Tim Kelley Endorses Book by Intentional Insights’ President, Dr. Gleb TsipurskyTim Kelley is the founder of the True Purpose® Institute and wrote True Purpose: Twelve Strategies for Discovering the Difference You Are Meant to Make. In his endorsement of the book, Mr. Kelley states: Dr. Tsipursky has done a great job bringing the power of meaning and purpose to the rational and scientific among us. This topic is so frequently treated as a purely religious or spiritual inquiry that it can be a very difficult process for the skeptically- Dr. Tsipursky is a tenure-track professor at Ohio State University. As a historian of science, he researches the intersection of history, psychology, and cognitive neuroscience, focusing on meaning and purpose, decision-making, emotions, and agency. He is also a science popularizer, a best-selling author, and president of the nonprofit organization Intentional Insights (www.intentionalinsights.org) His workbook combines an engaging narrative, stories from people’s lives, and research-informed exercises designed to help people cultivate a rich sense of meaning and purpose. The book is part of other content that he developed at Intentional Insights that focuses on whether science can really answer life’s big questions, such as, why am I here, and what is the purpose of life for me? These questions, as Dr. Tsipursky describes in his work, have become answerable due to a recent wave of research in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and medicine. The findings reveal three science-informed strategies for finding purpose and living a meaningful life. The first set of strategies stems from the work of Victor Frankl, a Viennese psychiatrist who lived through the Holocaust concentration camps. In his research and work, both in the camps and afterward in private practice, he found that, in order for individuals to survive and thrive, it is crucial for each to self-reflect on their sense of purpose and meaning in life. The second set of strategies stems from studies showing that people have a greater sense of meaning and purpose in life when they are part of a community and have strong social bonds. The third comes from extensive research that demonstrates how opportunities to serve others, whether in civic, charitable, private, or professional settings, results in a stronger sense of purpose and meaning in life. This sense of purpose, in turn, leads to better mental and physical well-being. The workbook describes these strategies in much greater depth, with a free book version available at http://intentionalinsights.org/ Read the book to learn more about scientific strategies that can help people find their sense of life purpose and lead a meaningful life!
