| Summary |
This is an open access book. Meaning in Life (MIL) International Conference 2022, zCultivating, Promoting, and Enhancing Meaning in Life Across Cultures and Life Spany will be held 0n 22-25 June 2022, Onsite & Live Online, at The Hong Kong Shue Yan University, Hong Kong, China. The concept of meaning in life (MIL) has recently earned a renaissance of interest. Although MIL has always been framed as significant for human survival, it has simultaneously been portrayed as chronically lacking in people’s lives. Furthermore, though MIL has been seen as a universal need, it is also highly idiosyncratic. These paradoxes of MIL being a basic necessity but also a rare commodity, and as being universal yet idiosyncratic, have driven the quest for meaning throughout history and across disciplines. The COVID-19 pandemic has not only been changing and impacting the ways we live, but also initiates us to quest more about what still makes life meaningful in this chaotic, challenging, and uncertain world? The increasing quest for MIL provides the driver for meaning-enhancing interventions and meaning-centered practices, but the efficacy of these interventions is influenced by cultural and developmental moderators. Thus, the MIL International Conference 2022 will focus on the theme of cultivating, promoting, and enhancing meaning in life across cultures and life span, and welcomes paper presentations that share and discuss empirical-based and evidence-based MIL research, practice, and applications. |
