Armed with an unmistakable sense of aesthetics and journalistic tenacity, its team -- led by editor-in-chief tyler Brûlé --has created an intelligent publication that continually inspires a global readership who are interested in everything from diplomacy to design. For its first-ever book, the editorial team looks at one of their core themes: how to live well. The result is The Monocle Guide to Better living, an original, informative, and entertaining collection of writing, reports, and recommendations. This is not a book about glitz but rather an upbeat survey of products and ideas meant to be treasured and last. Structured into chapters on the city, culture, travel, food, and work, the book also provides answers to some key questions. Which cities offer the best quality of life? How do you build a good school? How do you run a city? Who makes the best coffee? And how do you start your own inspirational business? The Monocle Guide to Better living works as a guide but also includes 10 essays that explore what makes a great city, why craft is desirable, how to run your own hotel, and why culture is good for you. This is not a book about fashion or the next big thing. It's a book about finding enduring values --from a career you want to keep to furniture that will last a lifetime. It's a book designed to stay relevant, loved, and used. An indispensible guidebook to contemporary life, The Monocle Guide to Better living embodies everything that makes the magazine such a success: easy style and journalistic substance.

因為Monocle齣瞭一係列guide,想說better living或許是涵蓋最多的吧,就買瞭這本,結果發現的確涵蓋最多但也都淺嘗輒止。書編排的想法很有意思,衣食住行全都從設計的視角來切入。但是這滿滿的布爾喬亞氣息,讓我在這個本就悲傷的假日裏讀的不太開心。。。看圖看排版賞心悅目是可以的。但是除此之外有一絲生活方式霸權的味道。
评分very inspirational!
评分我就隨便翻瞭一遍,得齣一個結論,better living果然還是離不開錢啊。wohngeist的工具兩萬,bagnnoun的包兩萬,日本設計師的小飾品一萬,豈是社會主義屌絲可以染指的。
评分自此每本每期一到手都會如飢似渴地找Essays來讀。
评分From the perspectives illustrated in the book, Beijing or Shanghai could never be enlisted. Vancouver, however, still has a long journey to go. No surprise, Japan is on top of the list from service, health care, culture and business.
