The Quest for a Good Life
http://thequestforagoodlife.wordpress.com/
For the past 20 years, at least, I have dedicated myself to living a good life. This blog primarily is devoted to my reflections regarding this quest, and draws upon my Christian faith, knowledge of psychological science, and personal experiences. Topics vary, but include religion/spirituality, culture, happiness, relationships, work, and leisure.
