This book asserts that the purpose of life is to maximize the longterm joy you experience. In it, you have read of a framework called the life plan that gives you a scaffold to intentionally design and execute personal character qualities, values, beliefs, goals, and tasks that maximally advance your purpose while helping you understand and feel the maximal amount of joy in all you do each and every day.
You’ve been adequately informed about the importance of recognizing the unending possibilities of what you could do in any given moment, and taught how to effectively manage an unlimited list of things you intend to do.
Many barriers to the implementation of your life plan have been discussed, most important among them how you perceive, interpret, and act on emotions. You’ve learned about the separate states of emotion-and reason-driven action, the essential act of recognizing when you slip into an emotional state, and intentionally acting in a rational state. You’ve also been shown the importance of maximizing the quality of the people with whom you interact and the quality of those interactions.
You’ve been given a formidable armory of practical tactics to build and maintain exceptional productivity in all facets of your life and feel more meaning than you ever have. The choice before you is how fully you will use them. May you encounter all the joy you are willing to.
