Model & Strategy.

Descriptor.

NetProject.org is launching a platform for people to engage with ideas about life’s meaning and purpose to improve mental health and well-being.

Problem.

We’re addressing the “Meaning Crisis.” Nearly 40-50% of people have reported feeling not having a strong sense of meaning and purpose in their lives. Lacking a strong sense of healthy meaning and purpose is associated with higher rates of depression, suicidal ideation, anxiety, low self-esteem, regretful decision making, poor relationship dynamics, and a lack of resilience. We believe we can create a different future.

Solution.

Figuring out what gives our lives meaning and what improves our long-term happiness and well-being can be intimidating, with lots of confusing and mixed advice. Our platform takes users through 7 research-backed elements of well-being that we use to help people create approaches to purpose and meaning to empower them to flourish.
