Specifically, I said:
"Whether you believe that you are living the good life already, or would like to know how to go about living the good life, or maybe you are indifferent- whatever the case may be, feel free to join me as I dive into a journey of contemplation. Maybe we'll find the answers to our questions. Maybe we won't. However, what I do know is that if we attempt to reflect more closely on what sort of life is worth living, then we will learn more, and therefore know more. We will surely learn more about the possibilities of what a good life could entail. To me, this only means being closer to figuring out what we ought to do to live the life that would ultimately make us best off. The idea of achieving this seems to make the contemplation and journey as a whole worthwhile. It may be the case that you find that you were already living the good life. If so, this journey could result in validation."
I am personally not quite sure whether I have any clear cut answers regarding what the good life is.
However, as a result of my exploration of many of the different ethical theories, I can say one thing… that is, I now know more. I have been exposed to many different views and I can say that to me, it seems as though no single standard exists for everyone. If there was a single standard then it seems that there would be no disagreement in regards to morality. However, it is clear that our survey of ethical theories has shown us that there is much disagreement in ethics. Many different people, believe many different things. It is now up to you to decide which view seems most plausible. I hope that you have also learned a lot as a result of our journey and are now better equipped than when we started to formulate your own views about morality and what you take the good life to be!
The good life is also a popular theme and topic to sing about...

However, R&B singer Robin Thicke seems to have his own idea's about the good life that he has so gracefully shared with the world:

It seems that ultimately, everyone has different idea's about THE GOOD LIFE:
