Welcome to our five-part series on meaningful work where we discuss meaning in life and meaning in work.
The concept of meaning in life and meaning in work relates to the idea of well-being, which is to say that you’re more likely to have high levels of well-being if you have meaning in your life and in work. The ancient philosophers believed that you could have an objective view of well-being, in other words, this person objectively had higher levels of well-being than this person. But of course, what we know from modern psychology is that it’s all between the ear. Well being is entirely self-determined, which is why in psychology, we call it subjective well-being.
