Episode 46: Living Your Values with Bruce Meisterman

Bruce Meisterman on the Chapter X podcast

August 18, 2021

How would you define your core values? 

As children, your values are usually passed down from your parents or teachers. But as adults, it’s important to reconsider what we believe—and why—if we are to move closer to living a life with meaning. 

In this episode, we dive deep into creativity and purpose with Bruce Meisterman. After building a life around what lights him up, Bruce continues to broaden his horizons in the next chapter.

Not only is he the author and photographer of the book ARN? NARN., but he’s authoring the yet-to-be published fiction book A Coward’s Guide to Living. Bruce is a powerful example that you can figure out where you want to go next by exploring your values. 

We discussed:

  • The value of creativity and artistic expression in Bruce’s youth
  • How he coped with major life events through positive expectancy
  • The creative process of writing a book from concept to finished work
  • Why Bruce doesn’t feel his life has drastically changed in his 70’s
  • Finding peace in turning an ending of a chapter into a new beginning
  • His advice on rolling with the punches in life and living fearlessly
