The Hedonism Handbook
In this world of health nuts, self-help gurus, and general malaise towards anything fun, it's easy to forget how to enjoy yourself. In The Hedonism Handbook: Mastering the Lost Arts of Leisure and Pleasure by Michael Flocker ($11) you get a tongue-in-cheek lesson on how to recapture simple pleasures such as fine cigars, the three-martini lunch, or just laying in a hammock under the stars. It's a simple reminder to all of us rat-racers that the point of life isn't to do everything you can, but to instead enjoy what you do.
