Let's just say that I wouldn't recommend it! Of course, people are free to
pick whatever life purpose they want. In Getting Past OK, I show how to
pick a life purpose that generates success and fulfillment according to
your own definition.

If you do the exercises in Getting Past OK, you will come up with a life
purpose that will maximize meaning, fulfillment, satisfaction and so on.
You'd have to be a rare bird for Gilligan's Island to do that!
