How To Be Human: A Guide for the Age of Machines & Fire

Do you feel like the world is falling apart? Do your bones ache and do you fear not only your own death, but that of the entire species? Do you feel despair as you stare into the void of eternity?
Chances are, you just might be a human.

There's no known cure, but for thousands of years, thinkers have been trying to figure out just what we are and what we should be doing.

Join living philosopher and professor Dr. Dan Lawrence in How To Be Human: A Guide for the Age of Machines & Fire to explore what it really means to be a temporary creature on a floating rock in the universe, and learn how we can make decent, cozy lives in a world of chaos and tumult.

From Plato to procedural algorithms, to singing in the shower and panicking about death, Dr. Lawrence cracks open the cracking nature of the human, with all our ugliness, pain, and suffering.

• Digestible, chewy book packed full of stories, grand allusions, and ancient wisdom
• Honestly explore the experience of being human, with all our madness, creativity, and inspiration
• Practical advice to make the most of your life and find peace in the wild times we live in
• Philosophical insights from canonical thinkers and popular culture
• Join a community of free-thinkers and scholars by signing up for Professor Lawrence's free weekly newsletter with more wisdom and tips from canonical literature, philosophy, rhetoric, and more

Praise for Dr. Lawrence's Work:
"Lawrence urges the reader to do the one thing advertisers, marketers, and tech companies do not want them to do, something it is harder and harder to do with each passing microsecond: to stop and think."
- Andrew McLuhan
