Psychology professor Svend Brinkmann invites you to an evening on the big questions: what drives us, what we believe in, why happiness is so hard to pin down, and what meaning in life really means. Drawing on decades of research and his own personal search for answers, he looks at whether we should seek meaning in family, at work, through faith, or within ourselves.
Brinkmann is a professor of general psychology and qualitative methods at Aalborg University and a member of the Danish Council on Ethics. He has written or edited more than 200 academic articles and a long list of books, including his most recent titles Trivsel tur-retur (2025) and Menneskeetik (2026).
