m the social perspective, we may lose a sense of purpose as we age and shed the many roles taken up during our lives.

This may lead to social isolation, which research found could result in adverse health outcomes and higher mortality. Gandhi once said: “We find ourselves when we lose ourselves serving others.” Focusing on serving others and the community could create meaning and purpose to energise our lives and stave off feelings of tiredness.
