A crash course on the meaning of life in the context of FIRE
To counter such forms of propaganda, I spent a decent three weeks of my life decoding the meaning of life, devouring Roy Baumeister's book Meanings of Life. This article summarises the book's most fundamental ideas.
To start, we need to break meaning down into four parts. We need to pursue each part to have a meaningful life:
- Your life must have a purpose - Why do you exist?
- Your life must have value - You must bring value to others or society
- Your life must have efficacy - You need control over events.
- You must have self-worth - You need some way to feel superior to others.
- First, you connect all these positive and negative events together to respond differently to them.
- Secondly, this response will increase the stability in your life and help you cope with changes better.
- Purpose - We exist to be free of our golden handcuffs. We play roles like child, spouse, and parent rather than just a cog in the economy.
- Value - A financially free person can give up a job to someone else who needs it more and pursue a calling rather than a job.
- Efficacy - Passive forms of income give us a powerful sense of control over financial obstacles.
- Self-worth - And trust me, you will definitely feel superior to others.
