A Short Book On How to Live

This book is short. So is life. 

But it is also fast. And more often than not, we live it on autopilot. Wake up. Eat. Work. Sleep. Repeat. Somewhere between birth and death, we forget the point. I wrote this book as a reminder. For you. For me. For anyone trying to live, not just exist. This is not a guidebook. It won’t give you “7 secrets to happiness” or tell you to wake up at 5 a.m. It's a reflection on the wisdom of great minds. A conversation. One human to another.

Why?

Because despite all our tech, money, and distractions, we still ask the same questions people asked 2,000 years ago: What matters? How do I live well? How do I suffer less? What do I do with this one wild, short, and strange life? Philosophers tried to answer these questions. So did monks, scientists, poets, and tired mothers. 

I’ve read their work. 

A lot of it. 

I’ll bring it to you here without the fluff.  Some lessons are old. Stoic philosopher Seneca once said, “It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste much of it.”  Turns out, that’s still true.

Others are newer. 

Neuroscience now shows that gratitude rewires the brain. Harvard studies prove quality relationships matter more than success. Psychologists have found that purpose protects against depression. We’re finally learning, through data, what ancient wisdom already knew. This book blends both. Science and soul. Mind and heart. Ancient and modern. I’m not writing from a mountain. 

I’m on the same journey as you. Figuring life out. I’ve made mistakes, doubted everything, and experienced existential meaninglessness. Sometimes I wonder what the hell I’m doing with my life. 

Maybe you have too.
