This is a book about the questions worth asking. It's about meaning, time, life, death, love, fear, regret, and what to do when stranded on an island. It's written the way a smart friend would answer: with wisdom, honesty, and humor that opens you up inside. It's a self-help book for people who want more from self-help books. It will help you discover your own rules for life and how to put them into practice.
Scott Berkun has spent twenty years writing about how to figure out hard things. He uses psychology, philosophy, real life, and his own embarrassing decisions. The result is an inspiring book that's short enough to finish on a flight, sharp enough to quote to friends, and humble enough to admit what nobody really knows.
"I am smitten with How To Live. You'll love Berkun's hard-won lessons. I read all 26 rules in one sitting."
- Robert I. Sutton, Professor Emeritus at Stanford University and NYTimes bestselling author of eight books including The No Asshole Rule
