Living life is ultimately left to the individual. However, the modern person, who relies on science, technology, and political systems, often lacks this skill. Instead of lamenting this fact, the author focuses on the concrete questions surrounding a new art of living. Philosophy can make a significant contribution in this regard. The fundamental question "What should I do?" takes on an existential rather than a moral meaning at this moment, aiming at the art of existence, transforming abstract life into a personal one. This involves reflecting on how to deal with habits, desires, and pains, with time and death, as well as the arts of irony, negative thinking, and serenity - a lifestyle that can respond to the critical challenges of our time.
