The Good Life (1)
What keeps us healthy and happy
as we go through life? If you
were going to invest now in your
future best self, where would
you put yourtime and your energy?
There are lots of answers out
there. We are bombarded with
images, what’s most important
in life.
The media are filled with stories
of people who are rich and famous
and building empires at work. And
we believe those stories.
There’s a recent survey of mille
nnials asking them what their most
important life goals were.
And over 80% said thatthe major
life goal for them was to get rich.
And another 50% of those same
young adults said another major
life goal was to become famous.
And we are constantly told to lean
into work, and to push harder, and
achieve more. We are given the imp
ression that these are the things
that we need to go after in order
to have a good life.
But is that true?
Is that really what keeps people
happy as they go through life?
