The goal to better understand how to live a good life through a book discussion group.
The questions
- What is a “good life”?
- How do others advocate for finding happiness, contentment and serenity?
- Practically, how should one best manage career, family, friendships, community?
- What can one learn from others about managing one’s life in their 40s, 50s and 60s?
- What are different concepts of the meaning of life?
- How does one age vibrantly and gracefully?
