Hi Jake Hoban and Nick,

Thanks for sharing the wonderful ideas and the deep discussion.

Several months ago, I wrote a book (draft) titled Meaning Discovery: Capture Significant Insights in Everyday Life.

Part 2 of the book is about a practical tool called Meaning Discovery Canvas.

I used four dimensions to design the canvas:

- REFERENCE (What's it?)

- SIGNIFICANCE (Why is it different?)

- MOTIVATION (What's the purpose?)

- AGENCY (What should I do?)

It also highlights four Significant Aspects of “Meaning”:

- Concept

- Object

- Truth

- Value

It's a tool for turning abstract concepts such as three types of crisis into practical ideas in everyday life.
