What are your personal values?

How might they matter for wellbeing?

No, not really

Note to self: try not to be too clever with this one. Naive honesty is better than rhetorical flair here.

Health warning: not much transgressive stuff.

An email from Clearer Thinking arrives, encouraging you to do an exercise to identify your personal values (or principles, as they call them). I quite like some of the tools on Clearer Thinking. The one about determining the $ value of your time ended up bang on the professional day rate I was on at the time.

I do the values/principles exercise quickly because I already documented mine a couple of years ago.

This stuff is interesting to me because I once did some professional work on it and learned that there are several ways to identify values and usefully refer to them.
