In their book, “The Quest for Significance,” Prof. Arie Kruglanski and Dan Raviv find that from the beginning of humankind, everyone has tried to make their life matter — but how? It isn’t always about money and prestigious titles
or political power.
Professor June Tangney of George Mason University is the author of “Shame and Guilt,” based largely on researching people in prisons and during their readjustment to life in freedom.
Tangney’s thoughtful half-hour discussion with Kruglanski and Raviv explores the loss of — and acquisition — of all-important Significance in its various forms. This includes identifying what the people around you crave — and giving them some Significance, because you’ll get plenty of it back.
