A Field Guide to a Happy Life:53 Brief Lessons for LivingWhen I originally picked this book to read, I didn't know what to expect, but A Field Guide to a Happy Life: 53 Brief Lessons for Living did end up teaching me some new concepts I didn't know about. The main thing you should know about this book- if you haven't already done some research on it- is that it is about Stoicism. Stoicism is a philosophy that is based on living a virtuous life as well as valuing wisdom. Although this book does mention that you can learn about Stoicism without prior knowledge, I did feel overwhelmed at times because of my ignorance on the topic. I was able to pick some things up regarding Stoic thought, this was done through examples, but there were times where I felt I was inundated with information, so I did not get a full grasp on the subject. My suggestion is that if you are looking to learn more about Stoicism, that you also do some research before to get your feet wet, and then read this book in pieces so that you have plenty of time to reflect on the subject.
