This Is Water: Some Thoughts, Delivered on a Significant Occasion, about Living a Compassionate Life by David Foster Wallace

5.0

A tiny book, probably unnecessarily in the book format. But this talk itself has been, since I first read it 4 years ago, my manifesto, if only aspirationally. It's even more powerful when you remember that he ultimately lost the battle with his own mind, ending in his suicide at age 46.

In the event you don't want to shell out the cash, which doesn't do Dave any good now that he's dead, you can, for the time being, read the address at the Web Archive.
