Find Purpose Using Science! Blog: How I Made My Gut-Wrenching Decision to Reveal My Mental Illness

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Oct. 30, 2015 - PRLog -- Should mental illness be kept inside the closet and never to be revealed? Tenure-track professor at Ohio State University and author of Find Your Purpose Using Science, Dr. Gleb Tsipursky, wrote an article published in the Hufftington Post (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/gleb-tsipursky/how-i-made-my-gutwrenchin_b_8290528.html) as a means to fight the stigma surrounding mental illness and raise awareness towards it. As a historian of science, Dr. Tsipursky 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.

His workbook, Find Your Purpose Using Science, 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. It also focuses on whether science can 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.

These strategies are described in his workbook in a much greater depth, with a free book version available at http://intentionalinsights.org/book-find-your-purpose-usi.... It was published by Intentional Insights, a nonprofit devoted to inspiring people to refine and reach their goals. This nonprofit provides research-based content to help improve thinking, feeling, and behavior patterns. Intentional Insights also offers free online classes, videotaped workshops, blogs, and other content on meaning and purpose, as well as in a variety of other topics.
