Knowing What is Good For You 
A Theory of Prudential Value and Well-Being

An examination of the philosophical issues surrounding prudential value: what it is for something to be good for a person; and well-being: what it is for someone’s life to go well. It critically analyses competing approaches, and proposes a new subjective account that addresses key weaknesses of existing theories.
