It’s Time to Rethink Your Entire Life Plan - Dave Evans (Video)

In this 21 February 2026 published Modern Wisdom video, host Chris Williamson talks with Dave Evans, an entrepreneur, early Apple engineer, former Electronic Arts executive, Stanford lecturer, and author.
How does someone genuinely find meaning in their life? We’re often told that when things feel empty, uncertain, or painful, the answer is to “find more meaning”. But what does that actually mean? Is meaning something we discover, like a hidden truth waiting to be uncovered? Or is it something we construct through choice, responsibility, and attention?
Expect to learn what people actually mean when we’re talking about meaning, the problem people are actually trying to solve when they say they want meaning, how to engineer more meaning into your life, what the difference between the problem-solving world and the meaning-making world is, what the red herrings are in terms of meaning, why so many people become objectively successful and subjectively miserable and more.
