How To Live by Sarah Bakewell is a great philosophical read that doesn't only answer the difficult questions of life, it asks them. The answers come from the 15th contrary author Montaigne, who reached fame for his coining of the idea of an "essay". The simple thesis of the book is, to ask how one should live is very different from asking how to live. Immediately being drawn to the book by it's inviting cover design, I find myself even more drawn to the words inside. This book, although I am not finished reading, seems to be one of the most riveting book I have ever read, and I cannot wait to read more.
