Who it's for

The right fit

Designed for For any adult who has wondered whether they matter, or wants to feel it more: people in a season of change, carers and quiet givers, people who work hard to be useful, and anyone who wants to understand why others seek mattering so differently. It sits beside Wide Awake, Brave Joy and Open to Wonder.

Everyone longs to matter. Rebecca Newberger Goldstein calls it the mattering instinct. The first course of MatteringWell4Life, a companion to Goldstein's The Mattering Instinct, Isaac and Ora Prilleltensky's How People Matter, John R. Miles's The Mattering Effect, Nicholas Epley's A Little More Social and Zach Mercurio's The Power of Mattering, it works with the authors' own ideas: the Anti-Mattering Scale, the mother of all mattering questions and the mattering map, the mattering wheel and the M.A.T.T.E.R. Compass, the liking gap and the gratitude letter, mattering adjudicators and the Mattering Tax, self-mattering and your mattering project, the urge to universalize, and enough mattering to go around.
