Yesterday I picked up How to Live: A Search for Wisdom from Old People: While they are still on this earth by Henry Alford, then this morning I received a letter from a reader asking me about how to analyze your life's philosophy. In other words, how do you know how to live well? Hmmm was it Freud that said there are no coincidences.
This is a tough question and I think we all have our own unique answer to this question. I think for me if you want to condense it all(this includes when I have moments of �laziness,� �silliness,� �selfishness� and when I�m engaged in work that has nothing to do with my overarching life philosophy). When you look at my life one thing emerges in terms of how I live. And it�s always been there as far back as I can remember. I seek answers to questions. That�s how I live. And mostly my world view is shaped by the wisdom literature I read and the lessons I try to glean from life.
How do you live, what shapes your world view?
