Along with her fellow co-creators they\u2019ve discovered that there are four common elements to meaning: integrity with self; unity with others; actualising self potential and service to others. By consciously addressing each of these areas we\u2019re able to fully express what it means to be human and find more meaning in our day to day lives.\r\n\nAlong our journey of building the Happy Startup School we\u2019ve met many purpose driven entrepreneurs who are creating good in the world but are also burning out. They believe that they\u2019ve defined their purpose but for some reason something is still missing.\r\n\nWhat does it mean to do meaningful work? It\u2019s easy to conflate the ideas of meaning and purpose but just because you work in a purposeful organisation does not immediately mean that your work feels meaningful. For Lani purpose is about inspiration and service to others and if we neglect the other areas of meaning then that\u2019s when problems arise.\r\n\nBeing able to identify the missing pieces is the purpose of the Map of Meaning.\r\n\nEach of these areas can be depicted as four quadrants on the axes of being and doing. When we look at our daily lives using the Map of Meaning we\u2019re able to identify where we\u2019re spending too much time and how we can reclaim some balance by addressing the areas we\u2019ve neglected.\r\n\nTo find out more about the Map and Lani then follow these links:\r\n\nhttps://www.themapofmeaning.org/ (https://www.themapofmeaning.org/)\r\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUSZaquJBWE (TEDx talk on meaningful work)\r\n\nhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Map-Meaning-Guide-Sustaining-Humanity/dp/1906093652 (The Map of Meaning - A Guide to Sustaining our Humanity in the World of Work)\r\n\nhttps://www.themapofmeaning.org/event/online-introduction-to-the-map-of-meaning (Introductory workshop to the Map of Meaning)\r\n\nhttps://www.themapofmeaning.org/event/the-heart-beat-of-business-creating-and-running-meaningful-start-ups-and-small-businesses (Online course - The Heart Beat of Business: Creating and Running Meaningful Start-ups and Small Businesses)\r\n","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/2b98692b-aafc-43ff-b5d2-6bb3230e1df6/1433674-1584449838210-307e5a6c13c72.jpg"}
