One of my favorite things to suggest to friends who feel lost is to tell them to write their eulogy. Figure out the end, and you'll discover the path to get there.
I love this. I was actually thinking recently of writing a post called “I think about death a lot — and why that’s a good thing.” I feel like thinking about death is really avoided in our culture but actually thinking about death reminds us to live — to think about what we are actually doing day by day, not conceptually, but literally. That way work won’t consume our lives and we’ll be able to focus on the things that are most beautiful and significant to us.
I LOVE that book, also a great podcast series on the waking up app for folks who prefer listening. I gift this book to my team members as it is so helpful and glad to see you share it.

You are spot on. Please write it! It’s a good thing for us to think about it.
