The Purpose of Work and its Role in a Happy Society

Work is the foundation upon which communities are built, the catalyst for innovation and progress, and the bedrock of social cohesion. The true value of work lies not in its economic output but in its ability to enrich our lives and uplift our communities. What actionable insights can we glean from this perspective? And how we must recognize the interconnectedness of our work with the greater fabric of society and strive to align our professional pursuits with the values and aspirations of our communities.

Each panelist shared their life story in brief and their own perspectives to life and work.

Their personal experiences and the influence of their spiritual practices on their work gave a glimpse of their life’s purpose. They also shared how they integrate their spiritual practices into their professional lives to find greater meaning and fulfillment. A few examples were shared as tips for the audience to implement.
