Document Summary
If you shop, work out then eat everyday as a committed routine, then it is not disposable or useless. ****a life where a person is actively engaged but they don"t regard their projects as long term or valuable. ***do their activities and are waiting for something better to come along. We do the best we can to determine what is valuable: wolf thinks we have a kind of value-detecting faculty, and that we think we have it too (17). It is not infallible, but neither are a lot of our other faculties. If all that we care about is how things are for us, then each of us is basically a narcissist. But we are not narcissists; we think that things outside of us have at least some amount of value, and together that value adds up: god and meaning (23)
