Discover the steps to earning your path to fulfillment and living without regrets―from the world-renowned executive coach and New York Times bestselling author of Triggers and What Got You Here Won’t Get You ThereOur lives exist on a continuum between two poles: fulfillment and regret.

When we make the right investments, we earn our lives: Our choices, risks, and efforts lead us a rewarding outcome that we regard as fair and just, regardless of external validation.
