In this HIGH-VALUE episode, Andrew walks us through a practical framework for evaluating the things we pursue in life—whether purchases, relationships, goals, or beliefs—using 6 fundamental categories of Value:

Survival Value
Utility Value
Economic Value
Entertainment Value
Aesthetic Value
Happiness Value

He explores the idea that “Value is largely a projection” as well as how we assign Value, why Value is subjective, and how understanding these 6 categories can improve the decision-making process. From the Crown Jewels to a can of beans, from gold investments to meatloaf memories, Reed illustrates with real-life examples how Value is more of a projection than inherent Reality. Whether you're reassessing your next big move or trying to understand what really matters, this episode offers a powerful lens to help answer the series’ central question:
“What are you willing to throw your life away on?”
