Description
Graduates are often told to change the world and make a lasting impact. However, this book offers a different perspective.
The authors argue that some individuals believe they have a responsibility to intervene in others' lives, regardless of their personal circumstances. This can lead to unnecessary social costs and an overemphasis on moralizing. In contrast, living an ordinary life by putting down roots, creating a good home, and living in solitude can be generous and noble.
It's okay to mind your own business and focus on building a fulfilling life for yourself. This book provides a clear-eyed assessment of the motivations behind this approach and makes a bold defense of the value of a quiet, peaceful existence.
