In chasing the good life, many of us sacrifice our relationships, our health, and our sanity, and at the end of the day still find ourselves with lives and work that bring us little fulfillment or meaning. The pursuit of happiness doesn't fill this void, and it doesn't help us deal with the challenges and chaos that are inevitable in everyday life. We need to learn how to embrace all of life—the ups and the downs, the joys and sorrows, the good times as well as times of transition and upheaval.



Inspired by ancient Greek philosophy and traditional Greek village life, and backed by years of research, The OPA! Way offers a breakthrough, practical approach to discovering and reconnecting with the true meaning of our lives and work. Bestselling authors Alex Pattakos and Elaine Dundon, founders of The OPA! Way® and The Meaning Group, share insights, stories, and three core lessons to guide you on your odyssey to meaning.

Elaine Dundon, CEO of The Meaning Group, is cofounder of The OPA! Way®, a new lifestyle program for finding joy and meaning in everyday life and work, uniquely inspired by Greek philosophy and culture. She began her career in business strategy and marketing, including brand management at Procter & Gamble. A thought leader in the field of innovation management, she authored the internationally bestselling book The Seeds of Innovation, and created and taught a ground-breaking course on innovation management in the business program at the University of Toronto. Elaine's work in the field of innovation has been featured globally in numerous leading publications. As her work in innovation management evolved, her focus shifted to the "human side of innovation," specifically meaning, which her experience and research have shown is the key source of success. Elaine is a keynote speaker, adviser, facilitator, and leader of the meaning movement.

Alex Pattakos, PhD, is cofounder of The OPA! Way®, a new, meaning-focused paradigm and lifestyle inspired by Greek philosophy and culture. He is the author of Prisoners of Our Thoughts, an international bestselling book based on the wisdom of his mentor, the world-renowned psychiatrist Viktor Frankl. Also nicknamed "Dr. Meaning," he is dedicated to bringing meaning to work, the workplace, and everyday life. With expertise in political science and psychology, he has worked closely with all levels of government, including the White House under three presidents, and has served as an adviser to the commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. A U.S. Army veteran, he is also a former therapist and mental health administrator, political campaign organizer, and full-time university professor of public and business administration.

An award-winning audio engineer for over forty years, Tom Perkins has expanded his skills to narrating and has more than sixty titles to his credit. He learned by working with the world's best voice talent during his career, and he continues to engineer a variety of projects.
