WISDOM FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

About A Life Well-Lived

A Life Well-Lived starts with one question: if you had five minutes with your 25-year-old self, what would you say? Therapist Chris Ellison has put it to more than 12,000 people — retired schoolteachers, Nobel laureates, and everyone in between — and their answers kept landing on the same nine things. The book gathers that research, the Wisdom Harvest, into the Nine Pillars: Physical Vitality, Mental Fortitude, Relationship Health, Purpose & Meaning, Spiritual Well-Being, Financial Health, Personal Growth & Adaptability, Environmental Wellness, and Integrated Living. Together they are a blueprint — not for a perfect life, but for one lived on purpose, failures included.
