It is a truism that each of us has one life to lead -- yet we rarely ask what it means to lead a life. The answer may seem obvious, but leading one's life is actually a complex, multifaceted undertaking, which requires us to negotiate deeply puzzling aspects of our experience and overcome profound challenges to our sense of ourselves and our place in the world. In One Life to Lead, Samuel Scheffler develops an "attachment-sensitive" conception of what it means to lead a recognizably human life. In so doing, he reveals hidden complexities that are latent in our understanding of ourselves and our lives.
