Thanks, Dan and Chris, for joining the conversation.

What struck me was-- there is so much talk about "purpose"-- and for me, that just doesn't "do it" for me, as a person.  I don't feel the  need to be able to say, "My purpose is XYZ and here's how I work towards achieving that purpose every day."  Even so, I think my life has direction and clarity and that I'm doing "good work".  So the Summoned Life appealed to me as a philosophy, even though I respect and also need aspects of the Well-Planned Life.
