But according to Suzy Welch , the real danger is something far more subtle — a life that's good enough . A career that looks successful on paper. A routine that feels comfortable. A path that others approve of. Suzy calls this the \"B+ life\" — a life that's pleasant enough to keep you there for decades, but misaligned enough to slowly drain your sense of meaning. It's what she refers to as the \"velvet coffin.\" Soft. Comfortable. And quietly closing around you. In this deeply thought-provoking conversation, Suzy shares the research behind her groundbreaking Becoming You methodology, which has helped thousands of people identify their true purpose by understanding the intersection of their values, aptitudes, and interests .
