A strong sense of purpose can lift your mood, boost your energy, and improve your health — especially as we age. That’s why AARP offers free tools to help you reconnect with what matters most and feel more grounded and fulfilled every day.

And while supplies last, AARP members get free access to Purposeful by Kumanu — a premium digital experience that helps you turn purpose into a daily habit.

Three mobile screens from the Purposeful by Kumanu app. The center screen shows a user profile with a photo of an older woman holding a baby and a personal purpose statement about supporting her family and future generations. Her strengths and growth areas are listed below. The left screen displays a motivational message with options to give feedback. The right screen features a search bar with topic tags like energy, resilience, and wellbeing, and a 'Tip of the Day' card titled 'Meditation Morning.
