Student of Life is an attempt to harness a fuller concept of happiness in everyone's lives. It does this by laying a foundation that art and philosophy-as well as becoming fully engaged in this life and all it offers-can increase true levels of lasting happiness. As Socrates said, understanding we know nothing is the first step on the road to true understanding. The hope for this book is that its content gives to others what it has given to me and the many other students of life.
