About this listen

Bloomsbury presents Curating Your Life by Gail Golden, read by Sandra Murphy.

Choosing the things you keep in your life and where you focus your energy is doable, and Gail Golden shows you how.

Curating your life means selecting those activities that are most important, meaningful, and joyful for you and fiercely focusing your energy on those endeavors. It also means putting a whole bunch of stuff in the back room, to be reconsidered at another time.

Curating your life means sorting your activities into three categories:

The things you are not going to do, at least not right now

The things you will be mediocre at

The things you will be great at

This is not simple. But the payoff is amazing. Living a well-curated life is doable. You get to succeed at the things that really matter to you, and you still get to enjoy life. Join Gail Golden on a tour of how to curate your life for success, happiness, and fulfillment.
