101 Essays is a collection of Wiest’s most beloved and widely-read pieces of writing, assembled into a single volume that covers the full terrain of what it means to think well and live consciously. The pieces range across purpose, passion, happiness, cognitive bias, emotional intelligence, shadow psychology, relationships, solitude, creativity, daily routine, and the gap between what we think we want and what we actually need. Some were read by millions of people before they were ever collected here. Others have never appeared anywhere else.
