Can you measure a “good life?” Management consultant Chris Musser set out to answer this question for himself, developing a daily tracker to monitor progress across nine dimensions, from faith and relationships to work and wellbeing. Learn how it helped him focus on what really matters — and how you can adopt this 90-second habit, too. (Recorded at TED@BCG on October 23, 2025)

people should stop tracking everything.

actually science is awesome, it’s when it gets misused by people in suits it starts causing issues
@claireconover
February 26, 2026 at 12:22 pm
@Meteotrix my argument is tracking everything IS a misuse of science.

sort of but also it kinda helped him notice he was neglecting his wife soo, not really? but yeah i’m not a fan of religious people, they put all these absurd knots in their heads that make their life harder and i just want to shake my head lol

That’s one take.
Yup.
It would seem that the bloke was raised to have “visions of grandure.”
(My folks – albeit proud of me – are happy enough to see me feed and clothe my family 😅)
That said,
Another point of view is to see the validity in (and value of) slowing down enough to “take stock” of life through the lens of a selected set of values, and then – as time goes by – discover ” blind spots” as patterns show up that we might not otherwise have noticed.
I think our boy did okay.
How are you doing, mate?

That said,
Another noticing is to see 1) even he notice this in his talk 😊, and 2) the validity in (and value of) slowing down enough to “take stock” of life through the lens of a selected set of values, and then – as time goes by – discover “blind spots” as patterns show up that we might not otherwise have noticed.

Cheers to your day, mate!

The closer you approach retirement, the more you think about survival than changing the world 🌎

That’s one way to perform introspection…whatever it takes for self-awareness is a win!

Thank you Chris for sharing!
I have to say, I’m disappointed in the negative comments.
This man gets on stage to share a journaling method that has helped with introspection and finding meaning. He also mentioning that harsh feedback hits hard. And yet the knee-jerk reaction is to insult and criticize?
If his method doesn’t work for you, that’s fine, but please don’t be rude.

Look we are already giving too much data to the social media and AI overlords. My happiness is offline 😌

i recommend more people track stuff they’re interested in. I was struggling with chronic fatigue and was worried about my productivity, so i started tracking my work hours more precisely. I started seeing tons of patterns, at some point i realized i could predict my energy levels a month in advance lol. I got hard data about what my actual energy ceiling was, how long my recovery took after work etc. Having fewer doubts about these things is awesome.
@AussieWarrior76

That’s excellent!!! Life is full of patterns and if we get on top we can predict and preserve energy when we know we will be low!

“A good life” is so subjective and different for everyone. And conforming to societal rules about a good life is starting to be more dismissed by the informed

all good until you have to connect to the cloud, and then your data essentially belongs to the techbros

Why don’t we just use tape writers, write hand letters. It’s not hard. Just refuse technology. Go back to being human

Wow. He blamed his mom for his level of success. It wasn’t a “thank you mom”. Gonna keep watching but that was surprising. 😬

I’ve talked about a lot of what Chris talks about in therapy too (worry, self-criticism, etc.). His approach seems like an application of evaluative rubrics to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
