Good Enough is Good Enough


Are you a perfectionist?  Do you have a hard time feeling content with your life?  Perhaps you could benefit from learning and applying a term called ‘Satisficing.’   This term is mentioned in the book, “Midlife: A Philosophical Guide Book” by Kieran Setiya.  In the book, Setiya defines Satisficing as: Settling with no regret.  It’s a decision-making strategy where decision-makers select the first option that meets a given need or select the option that seems to address most needs rather than the "optimal" solution.  It can allow one to move forward with their life making progress and feeling fulfillment rather than getting stuck and constantly seeking a more optimal path.  Can you identify an area in your life where this strategy could be quite beneficial for you?
