The Science Is Clear: Purpose Changes Everything

Purpose isn't just an idea—it's a powerful driver of real health and wellbeing. Research shows that people who live with purpose experience better mental and physical health, stronger relationships, and greater resilience.

Vic Strecher, PhD, MPH, has spent over 30 years studying the link between meaning and wellbeing. His personal journey and professional research led to the creation of Purposeful—a daily companion to help you live with intention.
