Psychology, particularly humanistic and positive psychology, focuses on the individual's subjective experience of purpose. Viktor Frankl, a Holocaust survivor and psychiatrist, argued that humans' primary motivational force is the 'will to meaning.' He posited that even in the most horrific circumstances, finding meaning in suffering or in contributing to something greater than oneself is crucial for resilience and survival. Similarly, Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs culminates in 'self-actualization,' a striving to fulfill one's full potential, which often involves a sense of purpose or contribution. Contemporary research confirms that purpose is not a luxury but a core human need, providing direction, coherence, and motivation. Psychologists often define purpose as a stable and far-reaching intention to accomplish something that is both meaningful to the self and consequential for the world beyond the self, whether that world is one's family, community, or humanity at large.
