Personal life is the course of an individual's life, especially when viewed as the sum of personal choices contributing to one's personal identity.
It is a common notion in modern existence—although perhaps more so in more prosperous parts of the world such as Western Europe and North America.
In these areas, service industries operate with the aim of helping people to improve their personal lives via (for example) counselling or life coaching.
