Leading Lives That Matter compiles a wide range of texts--from ancient and contemporary literature, social commentary, and philosophy--related to questions of vital interest for those who are trying to decide what to do with their lives and what kind of human beings they hope to become. This book draws upon both religious and secular wisdom, bringing these sources into conversation with one another.

Mark Schwehn and Dorothy Bass identify four vocabularies typically used in discussions of the meaning of life choices: authenticity, virtue, exemplarity, and vocation. Six guiding questions shape the chapters that contain the majority of the texts. Each chapter's texts provide a variety of insights and approaches to be considered in addressing the question, arranged and introduced in ways that prompt deeper reflection. Leading Lives That Matter invites readers into arguments that have persisted for generations about what we human beings should do and who we should be.

This second edition includes forty-seven new readings from a diverse array of writers, including Toni Morrison, Kazuo Ishiguro, Denise Levertov, Malcolm Gladwell, Julia Alvarez, Alice Walker, Martin Luther King Jr., Pope Francis, and Chung Tzu. Three new guiding questions have also been added: To whom and what should I listen as I decide what work to do? With whom and for whom shall I live? What are my obligations to future human life and other life?

Chic little clutch that makes me feel pulled together
Color: Gold
This woven clutch has become my favorite for dressier outings. I’ve carried it to a dinner party and a night at the orchestra, and both times I got compliments before I even made it to my seat. It holds just enough — phone, lipstick, cards, and keys, without feeling bulky. The woven design looks more expensive than it is, and the clasp feels sturdy and satisfying to click shut. I especially like that it comes with a chain strap, so I can switch from elegant dinner mode to something more relaxed without juggling everything in my hands. My only small gripe is that I wish it came in more colors because now I want one to match every outfit. It’s that perfect mix of classy and practical, with just a hint of sass.
