人生に意味があることが前提になっている自己啓発屋の語りは、信用すべきではない

In this episode, I question the way self-help culture assumes that life must always have meaning. Many motivational messages begin with the promise that your struggles are meaningful and your life is destined for purpose. While this sounds kind, it can quietly become dangerous. It excludes those who cannot find meaning in their experiences and turns uncertainty into failure. I argue that meaning is not guaranteed, and that honest thinking must start from that uncertainty. When “meaning” is treated as a product that can be sold, people begin to outsource their own lives. This episode explores why such comforting stories deserve careful skepticism.
