The question assumes a shape of life that looks like a well: you choose a spot, you dig, and every year the well is visibly deeper. If your life did not look like that, if it looked instead like a series of unrelated territories, each explored and set down, the question lands as a verdict. You had not figured it out. You were still scattered.
This book is for the people who were asked that question and then, some years later, felt something unexpected happen. The scattered pieces began to click together. Problems that stumped specialists started to look obvious. The urge to prove anything faded, and as it faded, people started to listen. The second half arrived, and it was better than the first.
