Living Meanings writes about the self in the modern world. I attempt to question the unquestioned assumptions and patterns that undergird our daily lives. Sample topics include: the science behind well-being, the fragmentation of personal identities, the search for authenticity, and the moralization of productivity. The final goal is a life of clarity and wisdom.
I try to go beyond mere personal pontification, and instead ground my essays in accepted academic theory and research. In the interest of full disclosure, I am heavily influenced by contemporary psychological research, modern social theory and continental philosophy.
