Synopsis

They say "It takes a village."

And yet today it can be difficult, if not impossible, for others to penetrate the 'boundaries' that we all seem to build up around ourselves."No thanks. I can figure it out by myself."

30 Things invites you to take a step back from that kind of individualistic mindset and consider a different model for your life. One that embraces a larger community.

One that doesn't just value advice from others, but actively seeks out such help. One that is open-minded, attentive and committed to positive change.

You won't find anything too 'preachy' in these pages. Nor is 30 Things a book filled with lofty aspirations, pious platitudes or impossible goals.

Bill Schaberg simply presents thirty different pieces of worthwhile advice that he has been given over the years, tells how each one first came to him, and then relates how he tried to incorporate them into his life.

30 Things is a book of practical advice. Advice that - if actually put into practice - can help promote the book's promised goal of "living well".

At least, that's been the author's experience.

Hence, 30 Things... where he shares advice that he sincerely hopes might work for you too!

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Bill Schaberg is the proprietor of Athena Rare Books, a firm specializing in first-edition philosophy books published between the 16th and the 20th centuries. Deeply committed to the study of philosophy since college, Schaberg finally had to admit he was never going to find the "answers to life" that he was so diligently searching for within that discipline. While the ancient philosophers (those original "lovers of wisdom") were primarily trying to discover the best ways for us to live our lives, modern philosophy has veered off into several different specialties (theories of knowledge, language analysis, etc.) that add absolutely nothing to our understanding of how to go about "living well".It took more than a few years, but Schaberg finally realized that those answers are best found in the experience of others - experiences that have been candidly shared and then attentively heard, accepted and acted upon.
