Research-backed Benefits of Purpose
The average person spends approximately 90,000 hours—one-third of their life—at work. When work is unfulfilling, it can significantly impact overall well-being, making it difficult to find joy in other areas of life.
Research shows that job dissatisfaction is linked to serious health consequences, not only for individuals but also for those around them. Conversely, those with a strong sense of purpose and meaning:
- Are 2x more likely to live longer, healthier lives as they get older1 including lower instances of heart disease, cancer, and Type 2 diabetes.
- Enjoy lower stress levels and instances of anxiety and depression2
- Experience greater daily satisfaction and well-being3
Prioritizing meaningful work isn’t just about career satisfaction—it’s essential for long-term health and happiness.
