The power of purpose | Steve Taylor | TEDxSquareMile

This inspirational talk explores the power of purpose in our life. The reason that purpose is crucial to our lives is because it brings us motivation, orientation, resilience and positivity. Without purpose, it's easy for us to feel adrift and disoriented in our lives. We become more vulnerable to boredom, anxiety and depression. But a strong sense of purpose has a powerful positive effect. We feel part of something bigger than ourselves, more energetic and optimistic, and there’s a background reason for everything we do. This sense is essential for our psychological health. Whether your purpose of life is for personal accumulative, altruistic or self-development, only when you possess deep authentic sense of purpose, will you own the most productive and meaningful life!

Steve is a senior lecturer in psychology at Leeds Beckett University, and author of several best-selling books on psychology and spirituality, including Waking From Sleep and Back to Sanity. He’s a researcher in Transpersonal Psychology and Positive Psychology.

Kurzgesagt fans after realizing that this is *not* the Steve Taylor we were hoping for:
Aight imma head out

[myapk]

This is not the narrator from kurzgesagt.

[harshsomvanshi]

This guy's not a bird. He's most definitely not the narrator.

[bulk_manifesto]

I feel bad for the guy, no one ask for him instead to the kurgezagt narrator.

[shaungordon]

WHO is the voice of Kurzgesagt? I think that guy has the best voice narration in the world. I wanna see him in action

[susieb]

Came for wrong reason - stayed to listen. Glad I stayed♡

[CoolKidThend]

The second i heard his voice i knew he wasn’t the narrator for kurzgesagt

[deericahayes]

Omg I’m not the only person looking for the narrator 🤣🤣🥴

[lbarudi]

Came for the (not) Kurzgesagt's voice, stayed for the very interesting contents

[evawalko]

So true. I read almost all his books. He is excellent and life changing.

[annetteboden]

Excellent talk from Steve Taylor! and I can recommend his books too!

[frogeyes]

The 'wind' flowing through me now is making me laugh and have very lovely thoughts about Steve.
The mystery as to HOW we can open ourselves to the "wind' remains?
It has been a tease for us humans from the beginning of time.
How many people have we heard, even over the past 3000 years?
I am enjoying the state of acquiring openness, but, being able to enable others, leaves me with only the one option. Stay open!

[Randomela]

I came looking for gold,
But I found rock.

[kalyanamitra]

Great talk! It reminds me of Roberto Assagioli's writings on Will

[nathanyang]

i was looking for the narrator from kurzgesagt.

[nonresistantgrace]

I have read all of Steve Taylor's books and highly recommend, as does Eckhart Tolle.

[mistersmall]
