Life Equations: Formulas for a Life That Adds Up

Some of life’s deepest questions can be answered by surprisingly simple questions.

Finish=Approximate

Life=Loves On

Drawing from artists and scientists, philosophers and writers, psychology and everyday experience, Mark Barger Elliott explores the hidden relationships that shape how we grow, love, find meaning, suffer, navigate uncertainty, and experience wonder.

Each Life Equation is partnered with an original work of art, a reflection, and a practical next step to help you live a life that is truly your own.
