Pursuing the Good Life Seminar
January 23rd, 2009
“What is the purpose of my life?”
“Am I finding meaning and happiness, or do I
need to make a mid-course correction?”
Offered in partnership with the renowned Aspen Institute, this seminar is designed to help thoughtful people explore the big questions that inevitably arise at mid-life.
Professionals and business people born in the years following World War II are increasingly asking themselves “what’s next?” The PURSUING THE GOOD LIFE seminar draws on the wisdom of the ages to help these practical men and women plan for satisfying, useful, moral, and meaningful “second halves.” The seminar provides a framework for exploring the various ways successful people can divide their time among such activities as work, wealth creation, family and friends, community, leisure, and the creation of a legacy.
Through expertly moderated discussions of relevant classic and contemporary readings, the seminar helps participants address some of the profound questions they struggle with in planning their futures:
• “How do I find meaning and satisfaction?”
• “How much money do I need in order to be happy?”
• “What are my responsibilities to my community?”
• “How can I create conditions conducive to the personal growth and development of others?”
• “What do I need to start doing now to set the stage for living the good life when I retire?”
• “What will my legacy be, and how will I create it?”
The seminar presents an unrivaled opportunity for men and women considering significant life and career transitions to engage with other successful people who are similarly seeking to refresh their priorities and recalibrate their values. The goal of the seminar is to help thoughtful people ask “the right questions” that will allow them to create robust and satisfying life plans.
