Repacking Your Bags: Lighten Your Load for the Good Life by Richard J Leider

Repacking Your Bags: Lighten Your Load for the Good Life by Richard J Leider

Revised and updated: The classic guide to unpacking your physical, emotional, and intellectual baggage and repacking for the journey ahead.

Richard Leider and David Shapiro define the good life as living in the place you belong, with the people you love, doing the right work, on purpose. But with longer lifespans, technological advancements, and economic shifts, the particulars of this definition are bound to change over time--which mean most of us will need to periodically reimagine our lives.

In this wise and practical guide, Leider and Shapiro help you weigh all that you're carrying, leverage what helps you live well, and let go of those burdens that merely weigh you down. This third edition has been revised with new stories and practices to help you repack your four critical bags (place, relationship, work, and purpose); identify your gifts, passions, and values; and plan your journey, no matter where you are in life.
