Guest: Dr. Le Nguyen Phuong Host: Phong Le DISCUSSING THE MEANING OF LIFE A perspective from a psychologist; a meditator; and as an individual. To be fair, if there is one thing that any of us, regardless of skin color, age or status, are given the same, it is life. Of course, discussing the meaning of life in a 2-hour framework may be too ambitious, but Future Impact Academy (FIA) still wants to bring this topic to our guest this week, Dr. Le Nguyen Phuong. FIA believes that if we avoid, do not reflect, do not touch one of the core things (life), the solutions and directions that we discuss out there may just be like aspirin for the mind. What does it mean? Helping us temporarily forget the pain while deep down we are always urged by fundamental questions: So what is the meaning of this existence? How to live an “effective” life when we are given a life. Hopefully everyone can have their own contemplations, as FIA initially “ambitiously” proposed: So what is the meaning of this existence? How to live an “effective” life when we are given a life. Dr. Le Nguyen Phuong graduated with a Master’s degree in Educational and School Psychology from California State University, Long Beach and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership specializing in Educational Psychology from the University of Southern California.

He is also the co-founder of the Consortium to Advance School Psychology in Vietnam (CASP-V) in 2010 and a Fulbright Specialist of the US Department of State from 2014 to 2019.
