Infinite Meaning:
The Breakthrough of Noimetic Psychology
with Dr. Eric Maisel
Course Overview
You can’t find the meaning of life – it never was lost! Meaning never was something to be found in a philosophy, a religion, a belief system, or a way of life. Rather, meaning is a psychological experience. And because it is a psychological experience, you can create it. You can make all the meaning you need. Meaning is a renewable resource and infinitely available. Noimetics, the first psychology of meaning, spells out how you can fill your life with meaning by creating it. Make your days meaning-filled by learning noimetics, the new psychology of meaning. Join Eric Maisel, praised for his pioneer investigations of meaning in groundbreaking books like The Van Gogh Blues and Rethinking Depression, as he teaches the new philosophy of noimetics.
Derived from noima, the Greek word for meaning, noimetics is the first philosophy to describe how to harness our innate capacity to create personal meaning. Learn how to embrace the profound paradigm shift from seeking meaning to making meaning, reduce the meaning crises and meaning leaks in your life, and face each day more existentially decisive.
Today a great many people are suffering in all of the following ways:
- They spend a lot of time going through the motions.
- They experience frequent bouts of boredom, anxiety and depression.
- They procrastinate and find themselves blocked.
- They can’t quite figure out where to invest their time and energy.
- They have trouble believing that they or their efforts matter.
- They keep switching from one path to another.
These are all meaning problems—and powerfully addressed by noimetics. Learn how to grab meaning opportunities, make conscious meaning investments, and calculate the exact amount of meaning you need in order to feel happy and fulfilled. Finally understand how meaning operates in your life—and how you can nurture it, increase it, and sustain it.
Also learn how to share noimetics with others. If you’re a coach you’ll work more effectively with your clients by including their meaning needs in the coaching process. If you’re a classroom teacher you’ll keep your students fully engaged and motivated. If you’re a manager you’ll understand how to prevent meaning drains that sap energy and productivity. If you’re a parent you’ll provide your children with an invaluable new language to help them talk about meaning. Noimetics is a lens through which you can help others at the same time that you help yourself.
Learn noimetics for your personal growth and as a skill set that you can apply everywhere in your life. If meaning interests you—and if meaning has ever been a problem for you—this is the class for you!
