Do you know why you get out of bed every morning? Do you know what it means to "gloriously human?" Does your life's work bring you a sense of purpose and a feeling of peace?

In today's episode of "Why It Works," Erick Eklund reveals some of the hidden mechanisms behind why Personal Transformation works. We explore why people do what is expected instead of what is right for them, the role of pain in transformation, and how to avoid the dreaded hamster wheel of "meh."
