How do you live? / Genzaburo Yoshino ; [translated by Bruno Navasky] ; with a forward by Neil Gaiman.

Japan's bestselling classic about what really matters in life. The streets of Tokyo swarm below fifteen year-old Coper as he gazes out into the city of his childhood.

In a heart-warming series of life lessons from the old to the young, Coper and his uncle navigate the vast elements that make up a fulfilled, happy life: from relationships and courage to bullying and grief. With the help of his uncle, Coper embarks on a journey of philosophical discovery and personal growth as he figures out what it really means to live well. A phenomenal bestseller that has captured the hearts of millions, How Do You Live? is a unique guide to living a good life.
