In this conversation, Efrén explains the difference between someone who runs because they are chasing what they love and someone who runs because they are fleeing what they fear, even though from the outside the behavior may look the same. He shares three signs to identify if someone is running away from their problems: physical signs (tension, bruxism, muscle spasms), the common factor in recurring patterns (like relationships that always end badly), and constant complaining about the outside world. He also talks about what he calls the "epidemic of disconnection": according to his own study of 12,000 Latin Americans, 51% feel their lives lack meaning. Efrén shares the four things that do give meaning to the lives of those who report feeling fulfilled: meaningful connections, diverse and significant actions, explicit gratitude towards others, and a deeper gratitude for what is normally taken for granted.
