What is the measure of a good life?

Larry Summers believes the measure of a good life is leaving a positive difference.

Lawrence Summers: You know I probably, to this point, have been sufficiently busy living my life that I probably haven’t focused a lot on measuring my life. But I hope that I made the world a better place, and I think everyone can think about whether they made the world a better place for their children, for their families, made the world a better place more broadly. That, I think is the ultimate test for me.
