How do you live life 2

How do you live life 2 is a collection of previously published interviews with new thinkers such as Alain de Botton, Mark Williams, Kate Raworth, Margriet Sitskoorn, Dirk De Wachter and Damiaan Denys. With illustrations by Studio Ashleen and new paper goodies: postcards, quote posters and conversation cards.

We often think: later, later, next week, next month. And in the meantime, we postpone our lives (or rather: the things we would like to do). Do we give more unimportant things priority over the things that we really find important, and many people often get more of our time and attention than our loved ones.

There are many more great insights that we have gained in recent years. We bundled the most beautiful insights that emerged in all those interviews with mindfulness experts, philosophers, psychiatrists and other thinkers of our time in How do you live life. And if there is one message you can take from this, it is that you can choose what you spend your time on and how you want to live. Hopefully, How do you live life also inspires you to think more often: next month? No, that's today!

When we started Flow eleven years ago, one thing was high on our list: asking philosophers, psychiatrists, mindfulness experts and other contemporary thinkers for their insights about life and how best to live it. It grew into a whole series of interviews, in which experts gave us wonderful insights that are really useful to us. For example, that you should not try to be happy all the time, and that you can look at time differently so that you feel less rushed. May you stare out the window more often – just do nothing. We bundled the most beautiful interviews and thus How to Live Life 2 was created, full of wisdom about love, time, happiness, daily life, attention, change and slowing down.

The book contains the following six chapters:

1. Daily life: Can it be a little less full and busy?
2. Slow down: With, among other things, We think we are running out of time
3. Attention: Live less on autopilot
4. Change: Including You can't do everything yourself
5. Happiness: Including Who says you always have to be happy?
6. Love: Including Self-criticism is just an opinion

Extra to How do you live life 2:

• Postcards: cards with quotes and insights from the interviews that somehow stuck with us
• Conversation cards: 24 cards with slightly different questions than you usually ask your friends and family. This might start a completely different conversation, allowing you to get to know each other (and yourself) even better
• Posters: The inside of the cover of the book can be folded out into a poster and we also had some great insights and advice from the book illustrated by various illustrators. You can now find them on posters in the book
