Hearing this, Frankl leaped out of his chair and cried out, “But sir, if this is true, then what can be the meaning of life?” The first step is understanding what meaning is and is not. “Meaning” is a vague term, and sometimes people think that meaning is the same thing as happiness. But according to psychologists and philosophers, the two are different. Happiness is a positive mental and emotional state — and it comes and goes: when you feel good you’re happy, and when you feel bad you’re unhappy.

Meaning, though, is bigger. The defining feature of a meaningful life is connecting and contributing to something beyond yourself — whether it’s your family, your school, nature, the world, or God. When people tell psychologists that their lives are meaningful, it’s because three conditions have been satisfied: they feel that their lives are significant and worthwhile, they believe that their lives are driven by a sense of purpose, and they believe that their lives are part of a bigger story.
