On the morning of September 11, 2001, Wes Moore was driving up the freeway to his sister’s home in New Jersey. He wasn’t supposed to be there; he had postponed a meeting in the World Trade Center in order to spend the day with his family. This seemingly random decision may have saved his life, but it left him wondering what constitutes a meaningful life.

We all work to live, but how many of us “live to work”? Wes Moore examines the paths of several inspirational people. Through their unique stories and what they say about life, luck, and courage, you will find the insight and incentive to stop asking yourself: “does my life actually matter?” And to do something about it.
