    Vintage Books (a division of Penguin Books) has scheduled the book release of "How to Live a Good Life" for January 7, 2020. It includes 15 chapters on how modern people live out their religious or non-religious philosophies in the 21st Century. I wrote the "Epicureanism" chapter.

    Here is the Table of Contents and blurb.

    The book's official publication date is today.

    Here is my review of it, which includes an invitation to the reader to write an essay about their own personal philosophy:
