A short guide to living well by understanding better what you
really value-and what to do when your goals conflict What do you
want out of life? To make a lot of money-or work for justice? To
run marathons-or sing in a choir? To have children-or travel the
world? The things we care about in life-family, friendship, leisure
activities, work, our moral ideals-often conflict, preventing us
from doing what matters most to us. Even worse, we don't always
know what we really want, or how to define success. Blending
personal stories, philosophy, and psychology, this insightful and
entertaining book offers invaluable advice about living well by
understanding your values and resolving the conflicts that
frustrate their fulfillment. Valerie Tiberius introduces you to a
way of thinking about your goals that enables you to reflect on
them effectively throughout your life. She illustrates her approach
with vivid examples, many of which are drawn from her own life,
ranging from the silly to the serious, from shopping to navigating
prejudice. Throughout, the book emphasizes the importance of
interconnectedness, reminding us of the profound influence other
people have on our lives, our goals, and how we should pursue them.
At the same time, the book offers strategies for coping with
obstacles to realizing your goals, including gender bias and other
kinds of discrimination. Whether you are changing jobs, rethinking
your priorities, or reconsidering your whole life path, What Do You
Want Out of Life? is an essential guide to helping you understand
what really matters to you and how you can thoughtfully pursue it.
