How to Live: 27 conflicting answers and one weird conclusion

Product Information

I've been following Derek and his writings for years. This book is as insightful and thought pondering as all of his other writings. It's well worth the time to read, which won't take very long, because Derek writes to get the point across and not to add more words to his tomes to make them appear of more substance ( and costly to print). There is plenty to think about in all of his writings, even the single sentence ones he scribes. Highly recommended. You won't find a book with a higher density of ideas. There are no superfluous stories, no padding, no bullshit which is very refreshing. When unsure about what to do, I open my copy of this book then close it having found the answer. We all possess an internal navigation system that knows the best way forward, but life has a way of burying that system in a heap of fear, habits, and uncertainty. Think of this book as a super-tool to help you clear the debris and rediscover what you already know. Highly recommend!” This reading was very important for my life. How I choose projects to work on is based on many lessons available in this book.

A book that is a life staple. Important to read every year to stop your life becoming full of meaningless obligation. It is like an energy shot for the mind! No nonsense guide to ensure the choices we make are right for us and filtering what we say Yes to in our daily lives. This frees us up to do our best work and/or spend our time doing what we are most passionate about with the people in our lives that matter most. Derek's gift is to spot valuable insights about life that are in plain sight, but we somehow all miss, and then distill those truths into engaging anecdotes and stories. Highly recommended. It is a great book to share over coffee in the morning with my spouse. Easy to read and rich to ponder. Sparks interesting conversation. An excellent “couples” book! Epicureans were more inclined to turn their vision away from terrible things, to concentrate on what was positive.This book is full of short, thought-provoking insights! I listen to the audiobook for this, "Your Music & People", and Derek's podcast regularly. Even if you don’t have any kids, it still makes sense to get the books - for you and for anyone else who might come across them.

I read, re-read, and then read this book again. At times, it felt like Derek was reading my mind. Either that, or we think alike. In Hell Yeah or No, Derek does a masterful job of sharing his valuable life lessons in a concise and easy to read format. A "must read" for entrepreneurs and anyone seeking to continuously improve their quality of life.

thinking, and making things happen, but without this book I think I would have stopped at the crossroads. Great knowledge written in this book. I would not hesitate to refer it to many of my collaborators.
