Confronting ques-tions of what a good life consists of, how it can be achieved, and howit can be guaranteed for everybody entails exploring what really mat-ters to humans, individually and collectively. These questions thus canlaunch new societal debate, helping us recognize similarities ratherthan differences and serve cohesion over polarization. Most funda-mentally, a focus on the vision of a good life allows us, individuallyand collectively, to devise ways to escape the trap of “the more, thebigger, the better,” and to examine how our personal understanding ofthe good life interacts with that of others.
