Follow on Google News | Brandon Peele Endorses Book by Intentional Insights’ President, Dr. Gleb TsipurskyBrandon Peele is a Global Purpose Advocate for PlanetPurpose.org and is the Founder & Purpose Coach at the The EVR1 Institute.In his endorsement of the book, Brandon Peele states: “Find Your Purpose Using Science is an effective reason-based path to deepen meaning and connect with your life's purpose. Using techniques supported by his own research and that of dozens of other scholars, Dr. Tsipursky guides readers through proven purpose discovery exercises. With his warm, engaging, and vulnerable style he shares his own personal struggle, and that of many others, to reconcile the world of science and reason with the more elusive and subtle pingings of the human heart – to create a life that is larger than oneself. He guides readers through a number of activities to create their own narrative from within, to reveal their life's purpose, align their entire life with it, guide them in times of uncertainty, chaos and despair, and empower them to achieve the impossible. Dr. Tsipurky's voice is unique, speaking to the hope, idealism, angst and empowerment of the current global population, the largest population in human history, who are uniquely suited to remake our world with their life's purpose, and use science to approach life's big question, “Why am I here?”’ 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.
