Ask yourself if you're really happy.
Overview
The lives of a lawyer, an actuary, a housecleaner, a professor, and the people around them intersect as they ponder order and happiness in the face of life's cold unpredictability.

Not their forte
More of a behind the scenes type, shy, doesn’t like the limelight, prefers the known, the ‘tried and tested,’ wary of change, sociable but very private, store of knowledge, great memory but not creative.
Deep and independent thinkers, loves a challenge and complex problems, imaginative, creative, long range planning, future-oriented, logical, detached, curious, high standards, love improving things.
Not their forte

Practical problem solver, spontaneous, action oriented, no need to plan, loves a crisis and challenge, unfazed by pressure, great store of facts and knowledge, robust, immerse themselves, cool head.
Not their forte
Planning, steady state, chitchat, terse, economic communication when they’re in the zone, often don’t understand their impact big-picture thinking, anything woolly or emotional, difficult to read, blunt.
Shy so not the centre of attention, complex and difficult to know, can want to maintain harmony at all costs, need meaning in tasks, not detailed or a planner, looks forward rather then ‘here and now.’
Organised, planning, sorting out people problems, helpful, caring, positive, dependable, likeable, dutiful, committed, hard-working, at the heart of the team, the glue, energetic, enthusiastic.
Not their forte
