Join the Movement: Become a Mattering Ambassador

For the past seven years, I’ve been on a journey to understand what it really means to feel like we matter

In researching my new book, Mattering: The Secret to Building a Life of Deep Connection and Purpose, I asked hundreds of people from every walk of life a simple question: “Do you feel like you matter?” Too often, the answer was no — or not anymore. Their reasons were heartbreakingly familiar: feeling stretched too thin, overlooked, lonely, or easily replaced.

We’ve come to treat mattering – the sense that we are valued and have value to offer – as a nice-to-have feeling. But it isn’t. Mattering is a basic human need, as essential to our survival as food or shelter. When people feel they matter, they engage, connect, and persevere. When they don’t, nearly every measure of well-being declines. 

That’s why I’m inviting you to join me in bringing mattering to your corner of the world. Become a Mattering Ambassador and help others feel valued and needed in their homes, workplaces, and communities.
