Meaning in life is a motivational force and an existential theme for many people. The concept of meaning comprises purpose, comprehension and mattering. According to the Section III model of personality disorder (DSM‐5), lack of meaning, purpose and direction in life is part of personality dysfunction. The present study aimed to determine the association between personality disorder (PD), personality dysfunction and ‘lack of meaning, purpose and direction’ as a distinct facet of personality dysfunction, using Livesley's self‐report questionnaire—the General Assessment of Personality Disorder. This comparative quantitative study showed significant differences in lack of meaning, purpose and direction between a group of patients with PD (n = 126, PD with depression n = 51 and PD without depression n = 75), a group of non‐PD patients (n = 76, with depression n = 27 and without depression n = 49) and a control group (n = 444). The PD groups had similar scores as the non‐PD patients with depression. Lack of meaning was significantly associated with ‘difficulty setting and attaining goals’ in all groups, with ‘lack of affiliative relationships’ in the PD groups and ‘sense of inner emptiness’ in the PD group without depression and in controls. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…To assess PWB, six core dimensions are widely used: self-acceptance, positive relations with others, autonomy, environmental mastery, purpose in life, and personal growth 10 . Several studies have found that people who believe their lives have meaning or purpose appear better off, with better mental and physical health and engagement in healthier life styles [11][12][13][14][15][16] .…”

Whether hedonism or eudaimonism are two distinguishable forms of well-being is a topic of ongoing debate. To shed light on the relation between the two, large-scale available molecular genetic data were leveraged to gain more insight into the genetic architecture of the overlap between hedonic and eudaimonic well-being. Hence, we conducted the first genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of eudaimonic well-being (N = ~108K) and linked it to a GWAS of hedonic well-being (N = ~ 222K). We identified the first two genome-wide significant independent loci for eudaimonic well-being and 6 independent loci for hedonic well-being. Joint analyses revealed a moderate phenotypic correlation (r = 0.53), but a high genetic correlation (r g = 0.78) between eudaimonic and hedonic well-being. For both traits we identified enrichment in the frontal cortex -and cingulate cortex as well as the cerebellum to be top ranked. Bi-directional Mendelian Randomization analyses using two-sample MR indicated some evidence for a causal relationship from hedonic well-being to eudaimonic well-being whereas no evidence was found for the reverse. Additionally, genetic correlations patterns with a range of positive and negative related phenotypes were largely similar for hedonic -and eudaimonic well-being. Our results reveal a large genetic overlap between hedonism and eudaimonism.
