THE MEANING MEMBERSHIP

A monthly conversation about life’s big questions

Once a month, live, I sit down with members to talk about the research I’ve spent thirty years gathering—and to answer your questions directly.

Here’s where to come when you’re wired to keep seeking

Here is what the research says: meaning isn’t something you stumble upon, it’s something you build. If you’re the kind of person who isn’t content scratching at the surface, this is the place to go deeper with me, and a community of peers.

WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU JOIN

A community of meaning seekers

A live session with me, every month

Once a month I go live to teach a single idea, drawn from my research, my books, and the work I am doing right now.

Arthur AI, a digital thinking partner

AI Arthur is not a chatbot pretending to be me. It’s a tool my team and I have built using decades of my books, columns, lectures, and research. When you have a question at 11 p.m. on a Tuesday, this is where to take it.

A curated library of resources

Gain acces to a curated library of  essential resources—printables, videos, and more—along with the full archive of all live sessions.

Interact with fellow meaning seekers

Join people like you, those who are wired for growth and intent on asking the deeper questions of meaning.

Ideas paired
with practice

Understanding the research is the easy part. Doing something is the hard part. Each month I’ll give you action items to make tangible changes in your life.

An opportunity to ask me your questions

Every call ends with a chance for members to ask me their questions.

NEXT MONTH’S MEETING TOPIC

How to get on your second intelligence curve

Monday, October 26, 2026 at 3:00 PM ET

‍The skills that made you successful early in your career have an expiration date. Fluid intelligence, the raw speed and problem-solving power behind so many early wins, peaks in your 30s and 40s and then starts to decline. (I learned this the hard way, and I study this for a living.)

There is a second curve, though, and it leverages your ability to draw on what you know and share it with others. This intelligence keeps growing well into your 60s and beyond. The people who are happiest in the second half of life are the ones who stop clinging to the first curve and deliberately move to the second.

In this session, we'll look at why decline is inevitable (and why that isn't the bad news it sounds like), what the research says about these two kinds of intelligence, and how to start building your life around the one that grows. You'll leave with a challenge designed to help you let go and make room for what matters most.

The topic above is what I am planning to teach. But if something more pressing surfaces between now and then (in your questions, in the world, in my own thinking), I will follow it instead. The point of doing this live is to actually do it live.

What WE EXPLORE

Dimensions of a more
‍meaningful life

Meaning is not a single quality, but a combination of three: significance, coherence, and purpose. Our conversations revolve around these three, and we return to deepen each month after month.

Coherence

How do the events of your life fit together? We discuss how to integrate what has happened to you, even your deepest suffering, with your sense of meaning in life.

Purpose

Most people chase happiness without a map. We will define what purpose is, how it can change over time, and habits to deepen purpose in your life.
‍

Significance

The people you love and the people who love you are the ground on which a meaningful life is built. We discuss these connections not as feelings, but as something you practice and build.

WHAT MEMBERS SAY

“I have read every one of Arthur’s books. The live sessions are something different. The questions other members ask are worth the membership on their own.”

Have a question? Here are some frequently asked ones.
