- Looking back over all our texts (Happiness: A Very Short Introduction, Epicurus, The Good Life, Against Happiness, 4,000 Weeks) what total message do you take away from the course? And what other texts would you recommend we read next time this course is offered?
- What does it mean to "enter space and time completely"? 218 Have you? Will you?
- How would you answer any of Burkeman's Five Questions? 220-27
- What do you think of Jung's advice to Frau V.? 227-8
- Do you agree with Burkeman's definition of hope? 230 Does it sound to much like resignation? Or do you define hope as I do: modest confidence that our efforts to ameliorate the human condition may not be wholly futile? Or do you propose a different definition?
- Will you commit to Orwell's perspective? Do you resolve to enjoy your life, come what may? 234
- What's your answer to Cousin Mary's question at the end of The Summer Day?
- Which of Burkeman's Ten Tools do you, or will you, use?v 235-45. Do you have any better ones?
