23 Practical Things You Can Do to Make Your Life More Fulfilling
How can we live a more fulfilling life? While there are things we can do which are more long-term in nature (such as the ones in 37 Lessons to Help You Live a Life that Matters), here I’d like to focus on practical things which we can do today. As I wrote in my post about being indispensable, human needs can be classified into eight levels in the Maslow hierarchy. The more your needs at the higher levels are met, the more fulfilling your life will be. Money for example, mainly meets your need at the physical or at most esteem level. As you can see, the two highest levels are self-actualization (realizing our own potential, self-fulfillment, peak experiences) and transcendence (helping others realize their potential). So here are 23 practical things you can do to make your life more fulfilling: Think about this question: If you have only six months left to live, what would you do not to regret your life?

How to Read Classic Books Effectively
A few weeks ago I wrote a post entitled 48 Classic Books to Boost Your Learning Experience. It lists 48 classic books which are mentioned by both How to Read a Book (by Mortimer J. Adler and Charles van Doren) and The Well-Educated Mind (by Susan Wise Bauer). I believe the 48 books are great books which will boost our learning experience. The next question, after knowing what to read, is how we should read them. One book which has very good tips on reading classic books is The Well-Educated Mind by Susan Wise Bauer (which I mentioned above). All right, let’s start.
