Which concept refers to the life tasks—the ongoing work toward a satisfying lifestyle?

• A. Paradoxical Intention
• B. Life Tasks
• C. Holism
• D. Encouragement

Answer: (B)

The concept tested is life tasks—the ongoing work toward a satisfying lifestyle. This idea views personal growth as a continual process of engaging with key life domains and responsibilities, shaping a meaningful and balanced life over time. It highlights that fulfillment comes from actively pursuing and integrating these tasks—such as building relationships, pursuing purpose in work, and contributing to the community—rather than from a single, isolated goal. Paradoxical Intention is a anxiety-reduction technique, Holism describes treating the person as an integrated whole, and Encouragement is a supportive counseling practice; none of these names the ongoing, purposeful effort to craft a satisfying life as clearly as Life Tasks.
