Round 1: Brainstorming

1. A few of the topics I am considering:

How do I define happiness?

What is freedom? How can we be free within the constraints of society?

Do we sacrifice our independence when we enter a relationship or create a family?

Why do we settle and what is the point in following societal convention?

2. I'm hoping that through this discovery I'll learn more about my own values and how they
parallel with Chris' journey. I want to gain a better understanding of myself and the ideas
explored in Into the Wild.
3. I want my "answers" to be something new, something I have just learned about myself through
the discovery process.
4. I know how I feel about some of the topics I listed, but very vaguely. I want to use this
opportunity to delve deep into the questions that I ask.
5. I want to know what makes me happy, what I consider to be "free", and realize more about my
own motivation for why I have the goals that I do.
