Daniel Pink argues that meaning is the unifying thread across his seven books. He draws on economic and neuroscience research to show that people, aware of their mortality, are fundamentally driven to spend their limited time meaningfully and seek love.
In all of your work, 7 books, what do you know for sure? Every single book that I've written has come back to meaning. We are here on this planet for a vanishingly short amount of time. We really are. And at some level, all of us, either consciously or unconsciously, are reckoning with their mortality. You wanna have spent your time in a meaningful way. And so stuff that I've written looking at like economic research and neuroscience research, so much of it comes back to the fact that we are mortal creatures looking for a sense of meaning and a sense of love.
