Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of The Decenter. I'm your host, Riccardo Lopes, and today I'm joined by Dr. Valerie Tiberius. She is a professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Minnesota. She works on the on well-being and virtue from a philosophical

and psychological perspective. And we're going to focus mostly on her book, What Do You Want Out of Life, A Philosophical Guide to Figuring Out What Matters. So Dr. Tiberius, welcome to the show. It's a pleasure to have you one.

Thanks. Thanks for having me. So tell us first, what is well-being and how do you approach it from a philosophical and also a psychological perspective? So philosophers have a lot of different theories about what well-being is. Psychologists also have a lot of different theories.
