What is a good life?” has been a question asked by philosophers going back to the ancient Greeks. But somewhere along the line we abandoned the question, and over time our society’s notion of success has taken us further from a life of meaning, fulfillment and authentic connection. In “How To Live A Good Life,” Jonathan Fields provides simple, scientifically-validated daily prompts designed to help you find your own good life, and then live it.

Let Jonathan take you by the hand and give you real actions that bridge the gap between your big idea and your awakened life.

Elena Brower, Author, Art of Attention
With his trademark warmth, intelligence, and awesome sense of humor, Jonathan Fields does more than explain how a good life is possible--he gives point-by-point, actionable steps to make it so. Based on his personal experience, the wisdom garnered from contributors to his Good Life Project (some of the world’s greatest thinkers on happiness), and his massively wonderful Good Life tribe, this not so much a self-help book as a field guide to your good life. It turns out that a good life, with all of its wonder, brilliance, and chaos is far, far better than a perfect life. I can think of no wiser (or kinder) guide than Jonathan.
