What do we do when the life we've built stops working? Not a dramatic collapse, more like an unveiling. A slow realization that the things on which you built your life, and were told would yield contentment, were not actually going to deliver on that promise. No matter how hard you tried. For What It's Worth: In Search of a Good Life is a reflection what comes after that realization.
T. S. Cobb writes about common character traits such as courage, integrity, perseverance, and purpose; and how the cultivation of these traits can shift us toward a life that brings the deeper satisfaction many of us crave. If you've ever looked at your life and thought, this is okay, but it's not really working, this book is for you.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. By any standard, I'd made it. I had the career, the money, the house, and the holidays to places that looked great on a postcard.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Something happens when the life you built stops working. Not a dramatic collapse - more like a slow recognition that the things you were chasing were never going to arrive, no matter how hard you tried. The money, the status, the career, the houses - they delivered everything except the one thing they promised.For What It's Worth: In Search of a Good Life is about what comes after that recognition. Not the tidy version. The real one - where you lose more than you expected, discover that the qualities which actually sustain a life are not the ones the world rewards, and learn what you're made of in the process.Drawing on personal experience and the stories of figures from Fred Rogers to Kay Graham to William Wilberforce, T. S. Cobb writes about courage, integrity, perseverance, and purpose - not as abstractions but as traits that cost something. This is a book about how to stay in the game when the scoreboard no longer applies. It is direct, personal, and honest.For readers of Ryan Holiday, Viktor Frankl, Michel de Montaigne, and Timothy Gallwey's The Inner Game of Tennis. This item is printed on demand.
