Searching for Meaning: Idealism, Bright Minds, Disillusionment and Hope Seminar

Searching for Meaning: Idealism, Bright Minds, Disillusionment, and Hope


Presenter: James T. Webb, PhD


Many bright idealists find themselves disillusioned in today’s world, and they may experience existential depression as they examine their lives and search for meaningfulness. This discussion will help idealists understand themselves and their struggles, and it will provide information and suggestions for actions that disillusioned idealists can use to better manage their feelings and thoughts in ways that will nurture their idealism and provide a sense of satisfaction and contentment.


People with existential depression need more than medications. It is fundamentally important for them to become aware that others have had similar experiences and to realize that someone truly understands their idealism, disillusionment, and anger that things are not as they “should be.” This discussion will also help them realize that disillusionment is a first step toward positive reintegration toward behaviors that can nurture their idealism.


Registration required.  $40 fee which includes access to recorded SENGinar.
