2Finding your way back to a life that counts.
See also: your life, fully lived.
The Gap
Somewhere between who you were and who you became, something got lost. Not all at once. Not dramatically. The way a fire goes untended. The way a language fades when you stop speaking it. You can look up one day and not quite recognize the life you're living, or the person living it.
It doesn't care whether you've achieved too much or too little, whether you're exhausted from succeeding or from struggling. It finds careers that no longer feel like callings, and relationships running on habit, just as easily as it finds people who feel like they've fallen behind. Remattering is the word we didn't have for finding your way back.
The Way Back
The book moves through Remember, Reconnect, Reclaim, Redefine, Recommit, Rebuild, Restore, and Return. Recover the purpose beneath an old ambition. Make room for the people who matter. Reconsider the measures of success you inherited. Begin where you need to, and return to the practices that help you live it.

Lerzan Aksoy is Dean of Fordham University's Gabelli School of Business in New York City. Her work at a mission-driven university connects questions of achievement with responsibility, service, and the lives students go on to lead. Timothy Keiningham holds the J. Donald Kennedy Endowed Chair in E-Commerce at St. John's University's Tobin College of Business and spent 17 years in industry, rising to Global Chief Strategy Officer of Ipsos. Together they have spent more than twenty years researching loyalty, purpose, and impact, and writing books that have changed how people think about what keeps us loyal, at work and in life. Remattering brings that work to the personal questions of connection, contribution, and purpose.
