"Things That Matter points the way to free ourselves from the distractions of everyday life so that we can build the lives we seek to create."- Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project  
  
Do you want to live a meaningful life - with very few regrets - and make a positive difference in the world? But is culture distracting you from doing so? Perhaps moments, days, and years go by without you stopping to ask yourself, Am I living out my true purpose? Even if that question whispers to you, are you brushing it aside because you don't know what to change in life's busyness?  
  
In Things That Matter, Joshua Becker helps you identify the obstacles-such as fear, technology, money, possessions, and the opinions of others-that keep you from living with intention, and then he provides practical ideas for letting go of those distractions today so you can focus on what matters most. He uses practical exercises and questions, insights from a nationwide survey, and success stories to give you the motivation you need to

Things That Matter is a book about living well. It's about overcoming the chatter of a world focused on all the wrong things. It's about rethinking the common assumptions of today to find satisfaction and fulfillment tomorrow.  
  
How do we get to the end of our lives with minimal regrets? We set aside lesser pursuits to seek lasting meaning. And we discover the joy of doing it every day.

"Reminding us that chasing fame and fortune squanders our precious life energy, Joshua offers a compassionate guide to finding what really matters." - Robert J. Waldinger, MD, professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School

"Every once in a while you read a book that can save you years (or decades) of angst, disappointment, and missed attempts at finding significance and contentment. This is one of those books, packed with wisdom and insight."- Carey Nieuwhof, bestselling author, speaker, and podcast host

We have the power to make choices every day to do more of what truly matters-and Joshua offers us practical suggestions to do this."- Nataly Kogan, bestselling author of The Awesome Human Project  
  
"Ten years from now it won't really matter what shoes you wore today, how your hair looked, or what brand of clothes you wore. What will matter is how you lived, how you loved, and what you learned along the way. And Things That Matter is a beautiful guide for getting there."- Marc and Angel Chernoff, New York Times bestselling authors of Getting Back to Happy
