Как жить: 27 противоречивых ответов и один странный вопрос

"How to Live: 27 contradictory answers and one strange question"

This is not an ordinary self-help book: part psychological non-fiction, part collection of witty moral teachings, and part philosophical essay on practical wisdom. Its author, music business pioneer and programmer Derek Sivers, sold his first company for 22 million dollars and donated all the money to charity.

To write this book, Sivers spent four years contemplating everything he knows and has learned. The result of his labor is on these pages. Briefly and aphoristically, the author writes about what makes up our lives from the first to the last day: about work and vocation, relationships and obligations, as well as creativity, independence, thinking, memory, skills, luck, and the art of doing nothing.
