A better life isn’t something that happens by accident — it’s designed, deliberately and with intent. In this last episode of our seven-part series on ‘Bigger isn’t Better’, Andres Zylberberg, Richard Peake and I explore what it truly means to live a life of purpose, balance, and fulfillment. 

We examine how true success comes from compounding progress across five foundations: health, wealth, wisdom, happiness, and family. From proactive health and intentional wealth to lifelong curiosity, joy through virtue, and building a family “cathedral,” this brings together everything learned across the series — reminding us that success isn’t about more, it’s about better. 

Takeaways 
A better life is built with intention, not by chasing endless growth. 
Health is the foundation, created through endurance, balance, and daily self-discipline. 
Wealth is fuel for freedom, guided by clarity around what’s truly enough. 
Wisdom grows when curiosity replaces ego and learning becomes a lifelong habit. 
Happiness thrives at the intersection of purpose, moderation, and living with virtue. 
Fulfillment comes from meaning, not momentary pleasure or the pursuit of more. 
Strong families are cathedrals built over time through presence, rituals, and love. 
A life by design compounds small, intentional choices into lasting freedom and joy.
