What To Make Of A Life

Jim Collins, international bestselling author of Good to Great, offers transformative lessons on constructing — and reconstructing — a life through the cliff moments and transitions we all will face repeatedly in our lives.

THE QUESTION

What to make of a life?


It is a question we all wrestle with more than once. How do we find our way in the world? How do we make it past the cliffs, significant events that can radically change a life? How do we keep the inner fire burning bright, long and late?

Inspired by relentless curiosity, Jim Collins devoted a decade to studying these questions and to minutely analysing those moments when life flips from clarity to confusion and casts us into a befuddling fog.

THE STUDY

His exploration compares various lives side by side, paired together at cliffs, and analyses the different choices made and divergent paths taken.

  • Two rock musicians confronting a future without the group that had brought them success.
  • Two suffragists achieving their epic goal and then left with the puzzle of what to do next.
  • Two public figures tainted by scandal having to make decisions about how to rebuild their lives.
  • Two figure skaters seeking new purpose when their Olympic careers come to an end.


What emerges from Collins’s extensive studies — of writers, actors, scientists, leaders, and many others — is a framework for understanding how individual lives can be built, sustained, and constantly renewed.

THE FINDINGS

By examining the long arc of these remarkable lives, Collins tackles life’s questions. What does it take to:

  • Discover a deeply fulfilling role in life — one that you are naturally 'encoded' for — and then find a second one, if the first one ends?
  • Overcome a major cliff — a fracture point that forces choices about what’s next and calls for you to reenvision the years to come?
  • Make your personal economics work so that you can focus on One Big Thing that feeds your inner fire?
  • Navigate the fog when you feel uncertain or even outright lost, and build confidence step by step
  • Minimise the impact of bad luck and ensure the maximum return on good luck?
  • Build personal momentum decade upon decade, so that your most creative and energetic years are spread across an entire lifetime?
  • Achieve the imperative to 'Know Thyself' and apply self-knowledge to each phase of life?

THE TRANSFORMATION

For the first time, Collins movingly chronicles his own story to reveal how undertaking this project transformed him, changing his thinking and reshaping his emotions in fundamental ways. 'After this study,' writes Collins, 'I will never look at life the same ever again.'

Surprising, story-driven, deeply researched, and uplifting, What to Make of a Life is a book like no other and convincingly shows how a richly fulfilled life is within reach for us all.

In LOVE
I have had so many issues finding bras that will fit. I'm picky with sensitive skin and a general hate for having to wear bras of any kind. I also I struggle with body dysmorphia and go between tolerance/hate of my tatas. Being a 40DDD is not fun with these issues, but I've found that wearing minimizer bras vs trying to bind to hide has been better for my overall self image (and way more comfortable). So I have looked high and low for different bras that support me, are attractive, and don't break the bank. This is IT. It's very sexy while working as an everyday bra and my partner LOVES the sheer and little strappy detailing. It supports just how I need it and has honestly given me some confidence back. I can't wait to keep coming back for this bra. Please keep this in stock lol. Sum up of the details that win me over: The overall look is sexy, its very soft, the banding is wide and does not dig into me (also has like 4 hooks?), the underwire is near perfect in that it supports and doesn't tend to dig unless it works its way up some, and it gives me a lovely shape that I don't normally have with how low I tend to hang, I fully fit in the cups (bell shaped, wide set) with no spillage.

Not very comfortable
Color: Black, Size: 42D
Just okay. Provides support but doesn’t particularly minimize and isn’t very comfortable.

Gorgeous!
Color: 01.Heart Cut, Style: 04. April (Diamond)
I love this necklace! I wanted something that represented my birthstone, but did not cost a fortune and could be easily replaced if it’s ever lost. I have very sensitive skin. Seriously, I’m even allergic to gold unless it’s pure. This necklace is perfect. The chain hasn’t bothered the skin on my neck since I put it on. The size is perfect for me. It sits exactly where I want it to. The pendant is a true Goldilocks - not too big, not too small, but just right! I love the way it looks in the sun! Sparkles, sparkles, sparkles! This is definitely going to be my go to, everyday piece. I highly recommend this to anyone who is even a little bit interested in buying it. You won’t be disappointed. It makes a wonderful gift for ladies and girls of all ages, or simply as a treat to yourself! Choose your birthstone or your favorite color! In fact, I’m considering which color to purchase next. Can’t say enough how much I am in love with this amazing piece!
