How to Live

27 conflicting answers and one weird conclusion
Book • 2021
In 'How to Live', Derek Sivers presents a collection of 27 independent chapters, each offering a different philosophy on how to live.

These chapters often contradict each other, arguing for various approaches such as being completely independent, committing to one career or person, being fully present, or delaying gratification.

The book is designed for reflection as much as instruction, providing actionable directives without quoting philosophers or naming specific ideologies.

It invites readers to consider multiple perspectives and find their own way, emphasizing that there is no one right way to live life.
