Since the dawn of civilization, we have been asking ourselves what it means to lead a good life: How should I live, what will truly make me happy, how much should I earn, how should I spend my time? In the absence of a simple answer, we need a toolkit of mental models, a guide for practical living. In "The Art of a Good Life," you will find fifty-two intellectual shortcuts for wiser thinking and better decisions, at home and at work. They may not guarantee you a good life, but they give you a better chance.
