One Life: How We Forgot To Live Meaningful Lives

Beskrivelse

Millions worldwide grapple with depression, anxiety, and stress like never before. Despite living in affluent societies, many continue to suffer, especially from work-related pressures.

This book explores the vital role of purpose and meaning in our mental health and performance, urging us to view ourselves as one whole human being.

The World Health Organization reports that over 300 million people are affected by depression, which accounts for about 4.4 percent of the global population. Even more individuals face anxiety and stress, highlighting a widespread mental health crisis.

It’s especially important to understand why people in wealthy countries with high living standards still fall ill, often due to stress linked to their jobs. Research consistently reveals that having purpose and a sense of meaning is crucial for both workplace performance and mental well-being.

As a result, more and more people are searching for deeper meaning in their lives. This book emphasizes a powerful concept: we are all one human being, no matter the situation.

Its goal is to help us stop dividing ourselves into separate identities-such as the "working self" and the "private self", and instead recognize that we live one life as one whole person.
