We are in a collective crisis for meaning—people are asking themselves what really matters.
People are looking for ways to feel their lives are significant. Significance can be an antidote to crisis.
In her new book Meaning Indicator: Finding Significance through Challenge, Work and Love, Michelle offers:
- Stories and tools that show you how to cultivate significance through the Meaning Indicators – Challenge, Work, and Love
- Practices and exercises to determine and explore your Meaning Indicators
- Predictors of meaningfulness and happiness to inspire your own life
Dear Reader,
I believe, worldwide, we are currently in a collective crisis for meaning.
We’re experiencing anxiety, loneliness, overwhelm, and disconnect more than ever before for a multitude of reasons. We’re asking ourselves: What really matters? How is my life significant? Where do I belong?
Despite external accolades, many, myself included, lose a sense of aliveness, joy and purpose.
After several disorienting life events, I began looking for frameworks to expand the definition of success, and have been exploring what a meaningful life looks and feels like in modern society. My findings helped me to heal from my excommunication from the Mormon Church in my twenties and my brother’s death shortly after the 9/11 attacks.
It is my hope that this book finds you at the right moment. Whether you are facing a challenge much greater than you believe you can navigate, or are experiencing grief, exhaustion, or simply questioning life’s purpose, I hope Meaning Indicator reminds you to keep going and that the stories within, both mine and others’, inspire your heart and soul.

When we perform work in the context of a higher meaning and purpose, we connect our work to something of personal importance and the greater good. We think about it in the context of who we are being in the work, what we value, and how our contribution matters. You can use this meditation to explore what is meaningful and purposeful to you in your current work.
