How to Find PURPOSE (By a Guy Who Had Everything and HATED It)

What if you achieved everything you ever wanted—fame, wealth, a brilliant family, literary genius—and all it made you want to do was die?This isn't a modern celebrity meltdown. This is the true, untold story of Leo Tolstoy, the literary giant who penned War and Peace and then waged war on his own life. At the peak of his success, he was plunged into a profound existential crisis, a spiritual abyss so deep that he had to hide ropes from himself to keep from ending it all. The big question haunting him is the one that haunts us all: What is the meaning of life?Join us as we follow Tolstoy's desperate search for answers. He interrogated science and philosophy, picking apart the greatest minds in history, and they all came up empty. The answer, he discovered, wasn't in the halls of academia or the salons of the elite. It was in the dirt-under-the-fingernails wisdom of ordinary people.This episode explores Tolstoy's radical, controversial transformation: his rejection of materialism, his condemnation of institutional religion, and his embrace of a revolutionary life built on simplicity, compassion, and service. This is the story of how a wealthy aristocrat found spirituality by trying to live like a peasant, and in doing so, unlocked a universal formula for finding purpose.This isn't just a history lesson. It's a roadmap for anyone who has ever felt that there must be something more.Are you searching for your own answers?
