Becoming Human Again

We live in a society where wealth and wellbeing are often measured in terms of money, status, and material progress. But if those were truly the keys to happiness, why do so many people feel empty, stressed, and disconnected from themselves and others?

Research shows that a lack of purpose undermines our mental health and weakens social cohesion. With individualism and loneliness on the rise, the longing for something deeper keeps getting stronger. But how can you bring meaning and connection into your life without drifting into hollow spirituality or vague self-help clichés?

In Becoming Human Again, Stijn Staes offers a clear and practical path to a more meaningful and fulfilling life. Drawing on research and conversations with inspiring changemakers, he reveals what truly matters if you want to live with purpose. Through four core values, this book offers the tools to become human again.
