Tackling the “Meaning Crisis“: Mental Chaos in University Students

This talk was organized by Blu Matter Project, a University of Toronto student group dedicated to student mental health. The organizers of this event sent me the following statement: “Many university students’ core beliefs and ideas are challenged by the courses they take, with no meaningful and beneficial replacements being proposed. This creates a devastating problem for many students. They experience a crisis of meaning, and no longer know or can’t tell what they should pursue in life. This existential undermining adds to the stress students experience while attempting to maintain a good GPA and manage demanding courses. All of this can produce depression, and encourage a nihilistic outlook.“ This discussion addresses such issues. -— SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL —- Direct Support: Merchandise: -— BOOKS —- 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos: Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief: -— LINKS —- Website: 12 Rules for Life Tour: Blog: Podcast: Reading List: Twitter: Instagram: Facebook: -— PRODUCTS —- Personality Course: Self Authoring Suite: Understand Myself personality test: Merchandise:
