• Summary:

  We live in a culture that is becoming increasingly obsessed with optimizing our health. But we still don’t have an answer to why we should be hanging around on this planet for as long as possible.

  In her new book, Liv Strömquist examines seven “influencers” and their advice for a better life. We meet experts, role models and advisors: Ronald Reagan’s astrologer Carrol Righter; the 14th-century Saint Catherine of Siena, who starved herself to death; Duchess Meghan Markle, who wrote life lessons on bananas for sex workers, manfluencer Rollo Tomassi, who advises men to stand completely still in the hallway to keep love alive, Instagram psychologist Nicole Le Pera, who urges us to set boundaries with people who exploit our emotional capital – and then there’s Caribbean circus performer Ludger Sylbaris, whose absolute best life decision was to go out on the town, get drunk and start a riot.
