Maybe you’ve already got one.
Or maybe you have been looking for one.
But you’ve certainly got an opinion about whether having one is worthwhile.
The idea of a "sense of purpose in life" is the starting point for the next in our occasional series Eclectic Conversations.
It's a time when we gather a panel from widely different disciplines, get them started on a topic, then watch to see what else comes up. And your help in taking the conversation to fascinating places will be most welcome.
