What makes a life go well?

Begin with a concrete case.

Choose the case that makes the question clearest to you. This choice only decides where you begin.

1. Case 1

   A life with long-sought status and recognition, but persistent fear of losing them and little time for close relationships.

2. Case 2

   A modest life with limited options, reliable necessities, reflective learning, and time with trusted friends.

3. Case 3

   A life that refuses seriously harmful work and cares for family and neighbors, while bearing financial loss and fatigue.
