Hmm
my sister is going through some meaning crisis, doesn’t know where she’s headed in life, says she lacks purpose in life, etc. Trying to think of books, articles, etc., that could get her through this. Any ideas?

The problem with “materialism” in this sense is what it excludes, not what it includes. This quote is where it goes wrong: “You might as well drop the hypocritical pretense of “higher” purposes and go for what you really want.”

“You think you have a higher purpose but really nobody does” sounds like a flawed theory, yes, but so is “you think you have no higher purpose but really you do”

none of those things will make you 'happy" or give your life meaning. rather, the causation is reversed: if you find your happiness and meaning, you may find yourself able to appreciate those things.

I...deeply don’t get this then. I keep hearing people say this. But tbh all those things seem to obviously make me & others happy?
