E124: Values

Values. What are they? How do they shape our lives? How do they change over time as we grow and evolve? Today's episode is a perspective on values, how to approach them, and some questions to use to determine what your values are, and whether you're living in alignment with them. My favorite way of picturing the difference between goals and values is “Values are directions we keep moving in, whereas goals are what we want to achieve along the way,” Dr. Russ Harris writes in the book The Happiness Trap, “A value is like heading North; a goal is like the river or mountain or valley we aim to cross whilst traveling in that direction.” Material for the episode is from a conglomeration of websites including this one.
