Over 5 weeks, we go through a journey of self discovery and articulation. We’ll start by identifying forces that inhibit our ability to live according our values with Crowding Out, we’ll learn to articulate these values in Attention and Meaning, we’ll learn to use our emotions as value detectors with Emotions to Values, and finally learn to make values cards in the last week.
In the first two weeks you will learn a new vocabulary that will help you articulate the variety of motivations you have. This vocabulary will be used to analyze how your environment is crowding out your values. By doing this you will begin to gain clarity on how many opportunities are missed for meaningful living, and you will also develop a finer sense of your values, even when you aren’t living by them.

The middle part of the course focuses on the relationship between attention and meaning. You will learn how to discriminate between different parts of meaningful moments; which parts are important to replicate and which parts are unnecessary? You will also learn to articulate your values in a way that allows for clear communication.

In the last part you will learn how to use your emotions in order to identify your values. After some practice you’ll be able to find a clear value underneath every (positive or negative) emotion you have.
