Why are you here?
What is this short and fragile life about?
These questions have easy answers in traditional cultures. You listen to the myths and stories of your elders and nod along.
But once we’re exposed to the chaos and diversity of the larger world (#thanksglobalization), the simple narratives of our ancestors suddenly seem silly and unattractive.
Rationality leads us into a desert of meaning.
But it turns out that we left something important behind: Purpose.
The Ten Thousand Heroes Show aims to restore our collective sense of meaning and fulfillment through demystifying purpose.
We present empirical techniques and rational arguments for taking Purpose seriously, while leaving room for fun and mystery.
And we interview inspiring humans along the way, each of whom has a clear sense of Purpose, and whose sense of Purpose has allowed their success.
