What matters

The second part of the questions from Arthur Aron's experiment — about what truly matters to you. Take your time and skip whatever you like. We'll send your answers to you as a letter to the future, and on the day it arrives you'll answer again and compare.

1Is there something that you've dreamed of doing for a long time? Why haven't you done it?
2What do you value most in a friendship?
3What is the greatest accomplishment of your life?
4What is your most treasured memory?
5What is your most terrible memory?
6If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life or the future, what would you want to know?
7If you knew that in one year you would die, would you change anything about the way you are now living? Why?

When should the letter reach you?

in six months in a year in 3 years in 5 years

The letter contains the questions and your answers — including blank spaces for the ones you skipped. It is never public. Like every e-wehikul letter: first you confirm your address by clicking the link in the email.
