Steve Hayes is a Professor in The Department of Psychology at The University of Reno, Nevada. Steve has been central to some important and ground breaking developments in psychology.

In this interview we asked him some questions about success and passion.

His definition of success includes this beautiful phrase: ‘Standing with yourself and standing with others in a loving way’.

I want to encourage you to pause a moment and let that sink in, let yourself see the ways that this could apply in your own life. If you were to define success as consistently, ‘standing with yourself and standing with others in a loving way’, what would be different in your life?

He also talks about the search for passion and purpose.

He suggests that the journey to finding purpose actually starts when we inhale meaninglessness. On the other side of that, on the other side of meaninglessness, there is life.
