Resolving boredom through our incessant attention to our devices has, according to New York Times bestselling author Dr. Arthur Brooks, also brought an end to our willingness to let our minds wander – inhibiting abstract thinking and making us vulnerable to anxiety and depression. He talks about his new book, "The Meaning of Your Life: Finding Purpose in an Age of Emptiness," and why constant distraction gets in the way of our ability to be fully alive.

Dr. Arthur Brooks has spent years studying happiness, meaning, and the habits that make life truly fulfilling. He makes a powerful case that happiness is not a feeling. It’s something deeper. Something built. In this episode, Dr. Arthur Brooks breaks down the science of happiness and explains why a good life is shaped by the three essential “macronutrients” of enjoyment, satisfaction, and meaning. He explains why pleasure alone is not enough, why struggle is necessary for fulfillment, and why many of the things we chase like money, status, comfort, and admiration, can quietly pull us away from what matters most. We also explore the hidden costs of modern technology, why boredom may actually be essential for reflection and purpose, and why service, beauty, and friendship are core ingredients of a meaningful life. Arthur shares practical ideas throughout, from his “reverse bucket list” to his mood-management protocol, tech hygiene rules, and strategies for avoiding relationship drift in marriage and friendship. If you want a richer framework for happiness—and practical tools for building more meaning, stronger relationships, and a more fulfilling life—this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
