The Quest for Meaning in a Prosperous Yet Empty Age
Why are Americans more prosperous yet increasingly miserable? Despite unprecedented material wealth, suicide rates have climbed 30% since 1999, and political discourse has devolved into tribal warfare. This paradox sits at the heart of "The Right Side of History," which diagnoses our cultural malaise as stemming from abandonment of Western civilization's twin pillars: Jerusalem's divine purpose and Athens' rational inquiry. When I observe true happiness - not in fleeting pleasure but in moments of connection, purpose and moral clarity - I'm reminded of Shapiro's central thesis: we've forgotten what actually makes life meaningful. The ancient wisdom traditions understood that genuine happiness requires moral purpose. The Hebrew concept of "simcha" describes happiness not as an emotional state but as right action aligned with divine will, while Aristotle's "eudaimonia" refers to a life well-lived through virtue and reason. Modern research confirms this ancient insight - people with strong purpose live longer and enjoy better health outcomes. Yet only about a quarter of Americans strongly endorse having a clear sense of purpose - a public health crisis hiding in plain sight.
