What makes a good life? The question is inherent to the human condition, asked by people across generations, professions, and social classes, and addressed by all schools of philosophy and religions. This is the crux of a crisis that is facing Western culture.

Named after a highly sought-after undergraduate course at Yale, the authors lay out this question, providing readers with jumping-off points, road maps, and habits of reflection for figuring out where their lives hold meaning and where things need to change.
