    About this ebook

    Taking as its starting point the much quoted comment by Socrates that ‘an unexamined life is not worth living”, this book is a ‘field guide to living an examined life’, a book to help you, the reader, to think about the life you are living, and to consider what you might want to do differently in the future. Like a good field guide, it does not provide answers, but provides the you with tools to identify and examine what is important. It does not tell you how you should live your life, or what decisions you should make, but rather it is a ‘questioner’s guide’, asking you to think more carefully about such subjects as loyalty, artistic creativity, wisdom and knowledge, managing your time, and determining how to live with others. At the end of each chapter, there are some questions that may help you decide what you could do differently as a result of living an 'examined life'..

      Like a Good Pair of Jeans, This Writing Advice Only Gets Better With Time

      Aug 16, 2021

      Like a good cheese, wine, or pair of well-worn blue jeans, some things get better with time. For me, Anne Lamott’s “Shitty First Drafts” can also be lumped into this category. I can still hear the collective gasp and stifled laughter when our high sc
