It’s relatively easy to make an irrefutable argument for the fact that extrinsic, long-term, purpose-driven living is the only way to maximize joy. It’s not easy at all to propagate this mode of being through all scopes of life in a way that is as varied as the differences between individuals and as flexible as the ever-expanding revelations of reality requires.
The core of this book describes a framework that provides a scaffold to organize and execute a plan for your life in such a way that you can leverage all the power of a transcendent purpose in every facet of your life without nearly as much hassle as you’d expect in such an overarching endeavor. While it takes a bit to lay it out, you can rest assured that as it’s described, it will make perfect sense. In fact, you might be shocked as to why you hadn’t thought of it yourself.
One reason the model is easy to use and think about is that it is modular. It’s designed so that you can think of any part of it with as much or as little detail as you want to in the particular moment. This helps you remember the vital pieces without having to store every detail in your mind. Each section of the model gives you the ability to partition out a piece of what might otherwise be an overwhelming amount of information, zoom in to higher resolution when necessary, create and edit that portion, then zoom back out to a high level. The model will also give you easy ways of knowing when it is time to do so.
