Most assessments of life satisfaction ask how you feel. This one asks how fully you are living — a different and more actionable question. The six pillars of meaning — Relationships, Growth, Contribution, Adventure, Spirituality, and Health — are drawn from research on what consistently produces a sense of a life well-lived, crossed with the Vedic Purushartha framework of Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha. The assessment identifies not just where you are depleted but why — and produces a concrete 30-day recovery plan for the most critical gaps.
The distinction between meaning and happiness is one of the most practically useful insights from positive psychology and from the Vedic tradition both. The Sanskrit concept of Ananda (bliss) is not the same as sukha (pleasure or happiness) — it is the deep satisfaction that comes from living in alignment with one's nature and contributing genuinely. The Meaning of Life Assessment measures proximity to Ananda, not to sukha.

The Dark Triad — narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy — describes a cluster of socially aversive but functionally distinct personality traits that exist on a spectrum in the general population. This is not a clinical diagnostic tool; it is a self-awareness instrument that illuminates the shadow dimensions of personality that conventional assessments ignore.
Grandiosity, entitlement, and the need for admiration. Subclinical narcissism is distinct from Narcissistic Personality Disorder — it exists on a spectrum and, at moderate levels, is associated with leadership, confidence, and resilience. The shadow side is exploitativeness and empathy deficits.
Strategic manipulation, cynical worldview, and the prioritisation of self-interest. Named after Niccolò Machiavelli. Associated with long-term planning, political intelligence, and social cunning. The shadow side is the willingness to exploit relationships for personal gain without remorse.
Emotional shallowness, impulsivity, and fearlessness. Distinct from the clinical disorder in degree rather than kind. Associated with boldness, stress-immunity, and crisis performance. The shadow side is callousness and the inability to form deep emotional bonds.
Vedic psychology has always insisted on acknowledging the full spectrum of human nature — including the Asuras (demonic forces) within. Shadow integration, not shadow denial, is the path to genuine psychological wholeness. Understanding your dark triad profile without judgment is the beginning of integration.
