What Do You Really Want?

Managing decisions can be a significant source of stress, worry, and regret, from the big ones that determine life's-trajectory to the innumerable, seemingly inconsequential choices of daily living. This book argues that deep self-awareness and an attitude of trust are the best tools for making strong decisions that we can feel confident about If we learn how to recognize our fears, explore them, evaluate their potential consequences, and contemplate what we want moving forward, we will have an easier time owning and taking responsibility for our decisions. While Shayna Goldberg, an experienced educator, draws frequently upon Jewish sources and teachings in order to develop the philosophical underpinnings of these concepts, the heart of this book is the many, true-to-life, relatable, and relevant case scenarios, along with her analyses of them, that illustrate how these concepts manifest in practical ways. Furthermore, Goldberg lays out an invigorating vision for trust-based education that will captivate anyone engaged in raising the next generation, from administrators and teachers to parents and even students themselves. Whether you are standing on the brink of a major decision, reflecting on those you have already made, or holding someone else's hand as they face a daunting choice - this book can help illuminate the path toward better understanding, deeper self-awareness, and stronger decisions.
