Bob tells a story about setting a goal and discovering, in the pursuit of it, that the point was never the goalpost — it was the journey and the people along the way.

Discussion Questions

7 questions

1.What was Bob's "goalpost" in this chapter — what was he aiming for, and what happened when he got there or didn't?

2.We live in a culture obsessed with goals, metrics, and achievement. Bob seems to be pushing back on that — not against ambition, but against the belief that the destination is the point. Do you agree with him? Why or why not?

3.Can you think of a time you achieved a goal and felt surprisingly empty when you got there? Or a time you didn't reach a goal but found that the process formed you in important ways? What did each experience teach you?
