Which term refers to the life work of all humans to attain a satisfying lifestyle?

• A. Paradoxical Intention
• B. Motivational Modification
• C. Holism
• D. Life Tasks

Answer: (D)

Life tasks capture the life work humans undertake to craft a meaningful and satisfying life. In counseling and personality theory, these tasks map the universal domains people must engage with—work or contribution, relationships and love, and the attitudes they bring to life’s challenges. When individuals align actions with these tasks, they move toward a lifestyle that feels fulfilling. Paradoxical intention is a method to reduce anxiety by facing fears indirectly; holism is about seeing systems as integrated wholes; motivational modification isn’t a standard term for describing life pursuits. Therefore, life tasks best describe the idea of the life work all people pursue to live well.
