"A little help here! It's getting harder every day to figure out what in the sam hill is going on in the worldand how to keep our sanity, day after day. And it's not just the politics of it all, although that part is freaking us out. There's too much social media, which isn't social at all and floods our feed with memes about how we drink too much. (You get those too, right?) Too many mediocre streaming shows, of which we watch every episode."
"What we all need right about now is some wickedly smart people to explain it allthe meaning of life. As a public service, Esquire has consulted with some of the smartest folks we could find and distilled those discussions into this compendium of wisdom and damn good advice. For more than twenty years, Esquire's What I've Learned feature has gathered insight from hundreds of people who are living remarkable lives, who help shape our culture, and who have something to say."
"Al Pacino, Mikhail Gorbachev, Eminem, B. B. King, Jack Nicholson, Jim Brown, Stephen King, Questlove. (They're all on Esquire Classic. Next time you have some time to kill, may we suggest reading a few What I've Learneds instead of seventeen minutes of swiping and hearting?) The ten interviews collected here add to the illustrious companyJason Bateman, Bowen Yang, Kristen Stewart, 50 Cent, and moreand we hope they help you find your way through another weird day."
