Topic: The Quest for the Silver Bullet

Sorry, there is no silver bullet. There is no tactic that guarantees success and happiness 24/7. Some floundering and unpleasantness are inherent in the pursuit of goals.

In this class, we'll discuss:

-What necessary, life-affirming context is dropped when you look for a silver bullet
-Why the quest for a silver bullet exacerbates problems instead of solving them
-How to channel the ambition and pride that underlie such a quest into life-affirming action and long-term success

Pre-work: Think about something you have been trying to improve about yourself for a long time. Are you wishing for a silver bullet to "fix" it once and for all? Feel free to send your thoughts to me in advance.
