Solo Thoughts 19: A-Life vs. B-Life

from Solo – The Single Person’s Guide to a Remarkable Life

In this Solo thoughts episode, Peter McGraw introduces the distinction between A-Life and B-Life. A-Life is achievement, optimization, production, and living through goals. B-Life is presence, pleasure, engagement, and doing things for their own sake. Drawing from anxiety, sabbatical planning, retirement, Seneca, and a vintage typewriter, Peter makes the case for shifting the dial from producing a remarkable life to actually living one, Solo or not.Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share! https://www.petermcgraw.org/solo/
