Becoming Your Best Self is an initiative that exists to help you realize a life of satisfaction and meaning by living in alignment with your important caring values. Below are three key, evidence-based ideas that inform what you will find on this site.  

​

YOUR BEST SELF LIVES IN HARMONY WITH YOUR VALUES

Your best self knows your important values and acts on them every day. Values are what you know to be good and right. When actions align with values, you connect naturally with your sense of meaning and purpose.

 

YOUR BEST SELF EMPHASIZES YOUR CARING VALUES

Not all values are created equal. Consumer culture pushes us to prioritize things like power and possessions.  Values that orient us to reaching out to help others are associated with greater life satisfaction and fewer mental health issues.

 

YOUR BEST SELF CARES FOR THE WORLD

When you reach out to help  - to contribute to your community, or care for the environment, or advocate for justice - you build your best self.  And while you are at it - you are making the world a better place!
