The article discusses a survey conducted by happiness expert Arthur C. Brooks in collaboration with Gallup and the Walton Family Foundation, which reveals that a sense of purpose is the primary driver of happiness for Gen Z. The findings emphasize the need for fulfilling work and genuine relationships to enhance happiness among this generation.

Editor’s Note: The results of the survey underscore the critical role that a sense of purpose plays in Gen Z’s happiness, suggesting that this generation is uniquely positioned to drive societal transformation.

By prioritizing personal mastery—finding fulfillment in meaningful work and relationships—Gen Z can harness their collective energy to address pressing social issues. However, it is essential to recognize that true societal change requires more than individual pursuits; it demands a commitment to community engagement and systemic reform. As Gen Z embraces their potential for impact, they must also cultivate a vision that connects personal well-being with broader social responsibilities. This alignment could lead to a generation that not only seeks personal growth but actively participates in reshaping society, fostering environments where purpose and connection thrive, ultimately creating a more equitable and compassionate world.
