The Meaning of Your Life with Dr. Arthur C. Brooks (Maxwell Leadership Podcast)

Are you striving for success, yet finding yourself wondering if your achievements really matter? The answer to a fulfilled life may lie in asking deeper questions, not just chasing accomplishments. In this bonus episode of the Maxwell Leadership Podcast, Mark Cole and Jared Cagle are joined by author and professor Arthur C. Brooks to discuss the pillars of a meaningful life (especially in an age of emptiness). Key takeaways: — Meaning in life isn’t just about setting goals; it’s about asking “why” and finding deeper significance in what you do. — Serving others shifts the focus away from chasing success for its own sake and unlocks fulfillment through impact and connection. — Every leader’s journey is marked by both triumphs and setbacks—true growth comes from learning to find purpose in both. The conversation dives into the content of Brooks’ upcoming book, The Meaning of Your Life: Finding Purpose in an Age of Emptiness. If this episode impacted you, he’s hosting a free live workshop where you can go even deeper and discover practical wisdom for navigating fulfillment, leadership, legacy, and purpose with clarity, from leaders like Simon Sinek and Jamie Kern Lima.
