For What It's Worth: In Search of a Good Life

Something happens when the life you built stops working. Not a dramatic collapse - more like a slow recognition that the things you were chasing were never going to arrive, no matter how hard you tried. The money, the status, the career, the houses - they delivered everything except the one thing they promised.For What It's Worth: In Search of a Good Life is about what comes after that recognition. Not the tidy version. The real one - where you lose more than you expected, discover that the qualities which actually sustain a life are not the ones the world rewards, and learn what you're made of in the process.Drawing on personal experience and the stories of figures from Fred Rogers to Kay Graham to William Wilberforce, T. S. Cobb writes about courage, integrity, perseverance, and purpose - not as abstractions but as traits that cost something. This is a book about how to stay in the game when the scoreboard no longer applies. It is direct, personal, and honest.For readers of Ryan Holiday, Viktor Frankl, Michel de Montaigne, and Timothy Gallwey's The Inner Game of Tennis.
