 Meaning

Smith explains that the Four Pillars of Meaning are:

1. Belonging: You’re in relationships with others that are based on both mutual care and frequent positive interactions.

2. Purpose: You have a stable, far-reaching goal that involves making some sort of contribution to others or the world.

3. Transcendence: You have moments of awe where you experience a higher reality: where your sense of self drifts away, and you feel connected to all that exists.

4. Storytelling: You have an inner narrative of who you are and how you got that way that helps you make sense of yourself and the world. ²
