Скачать или смотреть Going Well, Led Well, Feeling as It Should Three Dimensions of a Good Lifea

Ryan McAnnally-Linz introduces the three big questions that make the overwhelming challenge of life’s meaning more manageable: What does it mean to lead life well? What does it mean for life to go well? And how does a good life feel? By breaking the big question into these three dimensions—agency, circumstance, and affect—he shows how traditions and individuals can find clarity and coherence in discerning what matters most.

Notes

Three questions at the core

“What does it mean to lead life well?”
“What does it mean for life to go well?”
“What does a good life feel like?”

Agency: leading life well

Character, action, responsibility.
How we comport ourselves in the world.

Circumstances: life going well

The givens and conditions outside our control.
“In all those things that aren’t really up to you, what’s worth hoping for?”

Affect: how life feels

Feelings, tone, interpretation of life.
Not fully chosen, but not fully determined by circumstances.

Integration across dimensions

“Agency, circumstance, and affect can capture a lot of what really matters in life.”
The importance of coherence across answers.
