Algorithms and apps analyze data and tell you what to consume and how to behave-often with great results. But what do you do when you face the big decisions of life-the "wild problems" of marriage, parenthood, moving, and living a good life-that can't be solved by measurement or calculation? Wild Problems suggests spending less time and energy on the path that promises the most happiness, and more time on figuring out who you actually want to be. Ultimately, it asks us to see our lives less as a problem to be solved than a mystery to be experienced. There's no right decision waiting to be uncovered by an app or rational analysis. Reality is harder than that and, perhaps, a little more interesting.
