Cuando el éxito deja de ser suficiente: la búsqueda de sentido en la segunda mitad de la vida

*The Latitude Adjustment Positive Psychology Podcast* —galardonado con el premio *Award of Distinction* de *The Communicator Awards*, incluido en el *Positive Change Podcast Hall of Fame* y nombrado «Podcast del año» por los *American Writing Awards*— es un viaje narrativo que explora lo que realmente se necesita para prosperar en la vida. En este episodio, Erica y Rusty Harrison exploran por qué las preguntas sobre el sentido de la vida tienden a cobrar más fuerza a medida que avanzamos en ella. Desde los remansos de paz y el cambio de prioridades hasta la psicología junguiana, Viktor Frankl y la curiosa revelación de que el éxito y la plenitud no siempre son lo mismo, esta conversación examina qué sucede cuando la estructura de la vida cambia y empiezan a surgir interrogantes más profundos. A lo largo del camino, analizan conceptos como el propósito, la contribución, la conexión, el envejecimiento y la búsqueda de una vida que realmente merezca la pena, más allá de la mera productividad. Reflexivo, realista y profundamente humano, este episodio ofrece una perspectiva renovadora sobre el sentido de la vida: tal vez no sea algo con lo que uno se topa por casualidad en una tarde dramática, sino algo que se construye poco a poco a través de la atención, las relaciones, la curiosidad y esos momentos cotidianos que nos mantienen arraigados a la vida.
