How to Experience More Meaning in Your Life with Dave Evans

About this episode

Dave Evans challenges conventional notions of meaning and offers a grounded approach to experiencing more meaning in life.

What if you’re chasing the wrong kind of meaning? Dave Evans—Stanford educator, Apple pioneer, and co-author of How to Live a Meaningful Life—returns to challenge how we think about purpose.
