Why does life feel empty—even when everything seems “fine”?

Fr. Mike Schmitz and Dr. Arthur Brooks explore why modern life leaves so many people restless, anxious, and disconnected. From neuroscience to faith, they reveal why pleasure isn’t happiness, why technology can’t give us meaning, and how returning to God may be the only way out of the Matrix.

If you’ve been searching for purpose, this conversation will change the way you see happiness—and your life.
