Pink: Meaning

OK, I gotta tell you, I enjoyed this section of the text. The general point is that to truly be happy, human beings need not "pursue" happiness (sounds kinda funny, doesn't it.... like, stalking or hunting happiness) but rather seek "meaning" in their lives. The example in the text depicts a Dr. in a Nazi concentration camp who is able to discover meaning, and develops the concept into a psychology text.

The reader is warned not to settle for the slow, Monday through Friday death one endures in a unsatisfying job. Rather, we should seek a meaningful career (since many of us spend the majority of our waking lives at work)

Even though I'm not a very touchy-feely kinda guy, the following resonated with me:

We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey.
