Should people follow their values?

I think value-based theories of wellbeing do a pretty good job at describing what people think is good for someone, but concepts about values, especially those intended for self-help, could be improved. I definitely got some things wrong about what these people think; I just saw that Greenberg specifically differentiates positive affect from valuing something! Mentioned in the episode: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy book - The Happiness Trap by Russ Harris Valerie Tiberius - Paper describing her ideas - Well-Being as Value Fulfillment (book) Spencer Greenberg - Post describing some ideas - Another post Clearer Thinking episode about decision making with Annie Duke
