You can be successful and still feel like something’s missing from your life. A meaningful life is built when your life makes sense to you, has purpose and direction, and is rooted in healthy relationships.

In this episode, Andy Stanley sits down with Arthur Brooks, bestselling author and Harvard professor, to explore why so many successful people still feel unfulfilled.

Together, they unpack the three essential components of meaning, why our culture is making it harder to find, and how even suffering can become a catalyst for deeper clarity and growth. They also explore the shift from a self-focused life to one centered on serving others and why that shift changes everything.

If you’ve ever felt busy but off, or successful but unsatisfied, this conversation will help you realign what matters most and take a simple first step toward a more meaningful life and leadership.
